Courses in
Pathology Education
The Department of Pathology is involved in
many aspects of Health Science Education. Pathologists teach
courses in basic mechanisms of disease as well as
systemic pathology (organ-based pathology) in the Med II
curriculum. When taken together, an understanding of both
basic and systemic pathology allows one to understand and work out
the principles of clinical medicine, i.e. the expression of systemic
pathology in a particular patient.
Pathologists teach in six of the seven Med II
divisions. The textbook for these courses is Cotran, Kumar
and Robbins, Pathologic Basis of Disease, 5th ed.
