Surgical Pathology
PATH5000
The Surgical Pathology Unit of Study is based on examination of macroscopic pathology specimens (bottles) located in the Pathology Museum collection and examination of microscopic slides of relevant pathological processes. Candidates will read / view preliminary materials, distributed directly and through the university website, prior to attending 13 weekly 2 hour evening sessions at the University. These sessions will be divided into a Museum-based tutorial and a microscopic tutorial. Each session will conclude with a brief revision quiz on the material covered during the preceding sessions. Additionally, students will prepare an in-depth, semi-structured assignment on a pathological process, where possible of relevance to their particular interests. Topics that will be covered will include basic pathological processes (eg immunology, inflammation, neoplasia etc) and systems pathology (eg cardiovascular, respiratory, gastroenterology, neurology, genitourinary, orthopaedic etc).
