Education & Training
Medical Student Teaching Program
Pathology is the only discipline that can be classified as both a basic and a clinical science. As such, it provides for our medical students an indispensable bridge between the basic science that forms a large part of the first two years of medical school and the clinical relevance and application of this information that is the foundation of the third and fourth years. The newly designed curriculum will enhance the understanding and clinical relevance of the basic sciences and improve the students' problem-solving and independent study skills. It is based upon the use of small cases and the incorporation of small group learning, directed self-study and newer instructional technologies.
