Molecular Pathology: Implications For Disease Diagnosis

This exam focuses on molecular pathology and its applications in disease diagnosis. Candidates will be asked to discuss various molecular techniques and how they contribute to understanding disease mechanisms.

The integration of molecular pathology into routine diagnostic practice has revolutionized disease diagnosis, enhancing precision medicine and targeted therapies. This field is pivotal in advancing patient care and therapeutic strategies.

The assessment will require candidates to verbally articulate the role of various molecular diagnostic techniques, including PCR, sequencing, and FISH, and their implications for clinical decision-making.

Students should be prepared to discuss case studies that illustrate the impact of molecular pathology on diagnosis and treatment options, demonstrating a grasp of both theory and practice.
