SCMED2010 Pathophysiology 1
This unit consolidates on basic anatomy and physiology studies undertaken in first year units and explores these in more detail with an emphasis on disease processes and disease states in each system. How and why normal structure and function are disrupted is examined in detail with particular focus on common diseases. Abnormal anatomy and physiology are explored from histological levels through to gross levels, exploring disease processes that explain how and why any given set of symptoms for a particular disease occur. This unit focuses on an introduction to disease processes, immune system and disease, cancer biology, reproductive systems, nervous system, musculoskeletal system and haematological system.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
