They will attend intraoperative consultations, follow surgical cases from gross evaluation to microscopic sign-out, participate in autopsies, be involved with the clinical laboratories (chemistry, microbiology, hematology) and attend blood transfusion medicine rounds. As an elective rotation, if a student has a particular interest in one field of pathology, the schedule can be tailored to allow adequate exposure if advance notice is given to the Course Director. At the end of the rotation, the medical student will give a presentation on a case or relevant topic of his or her choice. There is a maximum of two students per rotation. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Regardless of intended specialty, a deeper understanding of laboratory testing will provide a very useful foundation for future patient care. Medical students will spend time in each of the four major clinical laboratories (blood bank, microbiology, chemistry, and hematology). Through discussion with the course directors prior to the start of the rotation, a schedule will be tailored to the medical student's interests and aspirations. Students, along with technologists, residents, fellows and attendings, will become part of clinical pathology team in each laboratory. They will spend time at the bench observing and/or performing testing (e.g., bacterial culture, antibody identification in the blood bank) and participate in daily laboratory rounds where clinical, methodology, management, and quality assurance issues are discussed. They will also participate in the laboratory specific didactic/tutorial sessions and be given directed readings to help build an adequate knowledge base. In addition, students will attend laboratory specific interdisciplinary conferences where they may present select material (e.g., microbiology plate rounds to the infectious disease fellows and attendings). Students will be expected to give at least one presentation at our weekly laboratory medicine case conference during the third or fourth week of their rotation. The presentation will be approximately 15 minutes in length and focus on a case that occurred during the rotation with a discussion on management and pertinent laboratory medicine issues. The relevant attending will advise the student on choice of topic and presentation. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Pathologists interpret the results of these examinations and tests-information that is important for the patient's diagnosis and recovery. The pathologist and the patient's other doctors consult on which tests to order, test results, and appropriate treatments. As such, an understanding of the practice of pathology allows all physicians to provide better care for their patients. This elective provides an introduction to the field of diagnostic pathology for medical students going into pathology and non-pathology careers. The clerkship is comprised of observational experiences in the gross pathology and some hands on experience in gross dissection in surgical pathology and autopsy pathology, performing and reading frozen section, all under the guidance of senior residents and attending pathologists. | The bulk of the four week rotation will be in surgical pathology. Two weeks are spent in surgical pathology and the remaining weeks students are asked to choose from a week in Hematopathology, Cytopathology, Microbiology, Blood bank/Transfusion Medicine or Neuropathology, depending on space availability. This rotation is more often customized to the specialty that the students choose for residency. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

In the 2-week elective students will experience anatomic pathology only. The 4-week elective will offer an opportunity to see and experience first-hand the entire spectrum of diagnostic activities in anatomic and clinical pathology. A general pathology rotation in routine surgical, autopsy and clinical pathology experiences are included in this elective. There will be contact with general faculty. This elective is beneficial not only for students considering a career in pathology, but also for students planning careers in Internal Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics-Gynecology, Pediatrics, Radiology, Radiation Oncology and Dermatology. Rotations may include subspecialty areas in pathology such as: GYN pathology, neuropathology, dermatopathology, cytopathology/fine needle aspiration, hematology, coagulation, clinical chemistry, immunopathology, Transfusion Medicine, etc. The preceptor of the pathology subspecialties are the faculty member responsible for these areas. Students will attend daily noon conferences; have daily attendance with assigned preceptor/resident; attend noon conferences when applicable; and make a 20-30 minute presentation on the last Friday of the rotation. Method of Evaluation: The performance of each student is evaluated by personal observation of the student's interest, attendance at departmental conferences, staff meetings, attendance at surgical/autopsy sign-out, beeper call conference, acceptance of responsibility and improvement of diagnostic capabilities. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
