The goal of the course is to give students a fundamental knowledge and practical experience of human and animal histology and pathology that students need to prepare for a career in pathology and laboratory medicine. This course familiarizes students with biospecimen processing and management at the organ, tissue, cellular and molecular levels. By studying different organs and organ systems, students develop an understanding of the normal and diseased state at the macro and microscopic levels. The course is reinforced with applied, hands-on laboratory sessions that would provide practical experience in the topics covered in the preceding lectures. The students learn how to dissect, preserve, process, section, and stain tissue. The teaching faculty will include "board certified pathologists" as well as experienced members of the pathology department.
