The teaching of general pathology in European undergraduate education programs in medicine.
The need for a common platform of the teaching of pathology in Europe was agreed upon at the IXth European Congress of Pathology in Hamburg. We undertook to formulate the educational objectives of pathology for undergraduates, and outline the subject content necessary to achieve these objectives. It was decided to determine how much time is required to teach general pathology and when during the medical course the teaching should take place. In this symposium in Athens we concentrated on the teaching of general pathology as a subject of its own, apart from special or organ pathology.
