Undergraduate Education in Pathology
|
| Introduction The Pathology Faculty is committed to making the undergraduate educational experience a rewarding and successful one. The instructors are pathologists and medical scientists with a broad range of interests and expertise. The faculty is based at the Medical College of Georgia and the Veterans Affairs Medical Center as well as several other hospitals in the Augusta area. During the second year, students learn the basic principles of pathology and make clinical correlations in patient case studies as they prepare to move forward in their medical career. Students also have the opportunity to visit the departmental laboratories and learn about the role of the pathologist in the practice of medicine. The second year's study of pathology is the first in-depth exposure to human disease. Through the examination of actual cases of patient material, students begin to understand the many human morbid conditions. This study is supplemented by didactic and discussion sessions and by reading and the use of computer and videodisc material. Through diligent effort, the student will gain the core of knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in a future medical career. In the third and fourth year students electives and fellowships in pathology are offered by the faculty. |
