HISTOPATHOLOGY FOR TRANSLATIONAL SCIENTISTS
Introduces the pathogenesis of disease via integration of actual autopsy patient cases. Emphasis is placed on understanding the basic mechanisms of disease at the level of cell, organ, and body, as well as the morphologic expression patterns of selected common specific disease processes. Participate in autopsy gross organ conferences as well as microscopic review sessions. Concepts covered in lectures will be applied and reinforced in the interactive autopsy sessions. Observe at least one full autopsy, gaining a three-dimensional understanding of structure and disease.
