2 Dear Student, WELCOME TO GENERAL PATHOLOGY COURSE! Praise is to Allaah, Lord of the Universe. May peace and blessings be upon Prophet Muhammad, the last of the Prophets and Messengers and upon his family and esteemed Companions. As a course coordinator, I welcome you to the General Pathology course. The pathology is a very relevant and important subject for dental students because this is the subject bridges basic dental sciences with clinical sciences. This course especially prepares the students to understand the oral pathology (which deals with oral and para oral diseases) in the following year of BDS program. This study guide will show you details of necessary knowledge related to the subject. During lectures you will notice that we will cover only the major aspects of the subject, which means that you are required to put more effort on self-directed learning strategies. Ultimately, you should be guided to become a lifelong learner. Being aware of the fact that students worry too much about examinations, we have made an effort to disperse the assessment over the whole period. In the section on assessment you will see the details of this process. I will be there to receive your feedback and comments and to try to resolve any difficulties during the implementation of the course. Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time if you need any help. The other staff members teaching the course are also available for any help you may need in case you have subject-related enquiries. May AllaahSubhaanuwaTaa la bless you with success in the course. May AllaahSubhaanuwaTaa la guide and direct you to become a good practicing Muslim dental doctor. The Coordinator 1
