Graduate and Medical School Courses
NOTE: Pathology 100, 116, 117, and 118b are primarily geared towards medical
students, but may be taken by graduate students with the permission of the Director
of Medical Studies Dr. David Rimm
-
Pathology 100: Pathological Basis of Human Disease
- Fundamental principles underlying the pathological alterations in function
and structure that constitute the reaction of the organism to injury. Pathology
of diseases involving special organs and systems. Correlation of the clinical
and anatomical manifestations is emphasized. Required for second year medical
students.
- David Rimm and
staff
Pathology 116: Autopsy Pathology
- Participation in the autopsy service with members of the house staff in
pathology. Participation in autopsies and the presentation and review of
the clinical and anatomical findings of postmortem examinations with senior
members of the Department. Opportunities exist for correlation studies with
previous biopsies, and clinical investigative and cell biologic techniques
in relation to necropsy material. Six weeks minimum, full time. Limited to
two students.
- John Sinard and
staff
-
Pathology 117: Anatomic Pathology
- The department offers an elective to medical students in the third and
fourth years which provides a broad experience in general diagnostic techniques.
Students have opportunities to participate in surgical pathology, cytology
(including fine-needle aspiration), and autopsy. A daily diagnostic conference
is scheduled for both residents and students, and an additional two hours
of conference is provided each week exclusively for the students. In addition
to direct responsibilities in the handling of the cases, the student has
the opportunity to apply the special techniques of electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry,
and flow cytometry. A minimum of four weeks is suggested for this elective.
Five students are accomodated every four to six weeks.
- A. Brian West
and staff
-
Pathology 118b: Clinical and Pathologic Correlates in Renal Disease
- A series of clinical pathologic conferences designed to illustrate clinicopathologic
correlates in renal disease. At each session, one student acts as clinician
and another as pathologist in the evaluation and discussion of case material
from autopsies or renal biopsies. Discussions are informal, but require preparation
in advance and all participants are expected to contribute in each session.
One two-hour session per week for six weeks. Given once in spring semester.
Limited to twelve students.
- Michael
Kashgarian and Norman Siegel
-
Pathology 650b: Cellular and Molecular Biology of Cancer
- A comprehensive survey of cancer research from the cellular to the clinical
level.The relationship of cancer to intracellular and intercellular regulation
of cell proliferation is emphasized, as are animal models for cancer research.
Background in molecular genetics and cell biology is assumed. Open to advanced
undergraduates with permission of the Organizers. Contact Dr. Stern for further
information.
- David Stern
-
Pathology 670b/Biology 370b: Biological Mechanisms of Reaction to Injury
- An introduction to human biology and disease as a manifestation of
reaction to injury. Topics include organ structure and function, cell
injury, circulatory and inflammatory responses, disordered physiology,
and neoplasia.
- Michael
Kashgarian,
Jon Morrow,
Vincent Marchesi, and A.
Brian West
-
- Pathology 690b: Molecular Mechanisms of Diseases
- The course is directed to graduate students and is designed to link the
experimental and basic molecular mechanisms of cellular and organ functions
to the pathogenesis of the most common human diseases. The course will
address the molecular basis of viral infections and AIDS, inflammatory
and immune-mediated diseases, and of several hematologic disorders. As
for last year, the course is coordinated with the Department of Genetics
to provide the students with a comprehensive, in-depth perspective on the
significance and impact of genetic mechanisms in human diseases. In addition
to formal lectures, the course will offer monthly Journal clubs and a Special
seminar given by a prominent guest speaker.
