The Department of Chemical Pathology is one of the Departments in the Pathology arm of the Faculty of Basic Clinical Sciences of the College of Medical Sciences at the Rivers State University. Chemical Pathology, also referred to as Clinical Chemistry or Clinical Biochemistry, is that branch of Pathology discipline which deals with the biochemical changes that occur in health and disease and the utilization of these biochemical changes in various fluids/tissues to screen, diagnose, monitor and prognosticate varied disease state.
The course is offered to first year clinical students (400 level) of the MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine/Surgery) program. We also offer a post graduate MSc. and Ph.D programmes in Chemical Pathology.
The Department is aimed at demonstrating and imparting to students and clinicians the potential to recognize altered physiological conditions (ill-health) based on the biochemical aberrations that tend to occur and accompanies diseased states.
The course highlights and emphasizes the following:
