Surgical Pathology and Clinical Rotations
Instructional Level:
Professional (P) and Graduate (G)
Credit Hours: 3-12
Instructors: Banky, Kay, Purcell, Nelson, and Pathology Faculty
Description: At the beginning of the academic year, the first year
student
will shadow a senior PA person during their daily
responsibilities. The
responsibilities of the first year student as they pertain to gross surgical
specimens will be limited. The student will primarily be expected to
observe the dissection of gross specimens as it is performed by the AP
technicians, senior PA students, PA staff, pathology residents, and
attendings. In doing so, the students will gain an appreciation for the
accessioning process, frozen section process, concise description of
specimens, adequate and efficient dissection with selection of appropriate
tissue blocks, the process of tissue procurement, clerical work involved and
gross photography. The grossing activities during the first year will be
limited to biopsy specimens, small resections and uncomplicated larger size
specimens as designated by the staff PA’s or the Medical Director of the
program. After appropriate experience has been attained, the student will
be assigned surgical specimens for which they will be responsible to gross.
These specimens will be grossed under the direct supervision of the PA
staff.
The second year
student will spend 9 months of the year in surgical pathology participating
in prosection (grossing) of specimens in the gross room. They will be
expected to learn and acquire progressive experience in the grossing of
difficult and complicated specimens, and will receive the same assistance
from the senior APA students, APA staff and attendings as is given to the
first year students. However, more initiative and a higher level of
performance will be expected at this stage in the grossing of surgical
pathology material. Also of importance this year is the participation in
the performance of frozen sections. The second year student will be
responsible for the handling, cutting, and performance of selected frozen
sections during this period.
Second year students will also spend 2 months rotating between the Division
of Autopsy and forensics at the Franklin County Coroner's Office. One month
will be spent in pediatric pathology at the Nationwide Children's Hospital.
Clinical pathology rotations are assigned in the first quarter of the first
year in the following areas: histology, hematopathology, blood bank,
microbiology, toxicology and neuropathology.

Medical Terminology
Instructional Level:
Undergraduate (U)
Credit Hours: 3
Description: Terminology pertaining to the treatment of disease,
including standard abbreviations, anatomic, diagnostic, symptomatic,
eponymic, laboratory, pathologic, radiology, anesthetic, operative, and drug
terms.
Quarter: Summer
712 Human
Anatomy
Instructional Level: Graduate
(G)
Credit Hours: 12
Description: Designed to acquaint a graduate student with a basic
knowledge of human anatomy by regional dissection. Taken
with first year medical students and graduate
students.
Instructor: Robert dePhilip, Ph.D.
Quarter: Autumn (starts mid August and ends
late October)
710 Human
Embryology
Instructional Level: Graduate
(G)
Credit Hours: 3
Description: Designed to acquaint the anatomy graduate student with a
basic knowledge of human embryology. The course is taught concurrently with
the anatomy course and generally parallels its content.
Instructor: David Clark, Ph.D.
Quarter: Autumn Quarter (starts mid August and
ends late October)
620
Management and Education in Clinical Laboratory Sciences
Instructional Level:
Undergraduate (U)
Credit Hours: 3
Description: Theory and application of management, education, and
research principles directed specifically to the Clinical Laboratory
Scientist. This course will prepare students to function in the roles of
laboratory supervisors, managers, and educators.
Instructor: Kathy Waller, Ph.D., CLS(NCA)
Quarter: Winter
700 Human
Histology
Instructional Level: Graduate
(G)
Credit Hours: 6
Description: A microscopic study of cells, tissues, and organs with
particular emphasis on human; consideration of microscopic structure in
relation to function of various organ systems.
Instructor: Thomas Hayes, Ph.D.
Quarter: Spring
601 Organ System Physiology
Instructional Level: Graduate
(G)
Credit Hours: 5
Description: First of a two-quarter sequence presenting the following
areas of physiology: Cell, Neuroscience, Gastrointestinal, Endocrine,
Reproduction, Muscle, Cardiovascular, Respiration, Renal and Acid-base.
Instructor: Wood
Quarter: Autumn
602 Organ
System Physiology
Instructional Level: Graduate (G)
Credit Hours: 5

Instructor: Wood
Quarter: Winter
793.01
Autopsy Pathology and Forensics
Instructional Level: Professional
(P) and Graduate (G)
Credit Hours: 3-9
Instructors: Hitchcock and Regional Autopsy Service attending
faculty and staff. Gorniak and FCCO staff.
Description: Instruction includes interpretation of autopsy
consents, including the determination of proper next-of-kin, death
certificates, resolving autopsy permission questions, release of bodies to
funeral homes and the coroner's office, and maintaining universal
precautions. The students will work with the attending pathologist,
pathology resident and deiner in prosecting cases while they learn the
technical operations of the autopsy service. During this time they will
develop prosecting skills, gross descriptions, processing tissue for
histology, digital photography, preparation of preliminary and final reports
with cause of death statements, and special studies in toxicology,
microbiology, and cytogenetics. Students will receive specialized
instruction in neuropathology and perinatal autopsy procedures. By the end
of the rotation, the students will be able to 1) extract and correlate
clinical information from the chart and apply it to the specific management
and performance of the autopsy, and 2) perform all aspects of an autopsy
with an attending pathologist. While rotating at the Franklin County
Coroner's Office students will gain instruction in forensic pathology.
Students will assist in the performance of autopsies under the supervision
of staff forensic pathologists and their assistants. Students will learn
the principles of forensic investigation and use of toxicology and crime
scene investigation.
