Description
The goal of this rotation is to educate the student to a satisfactory level of competence in the clinical practice of cytopathology. A well trained student is competent safely and effectively to diagnose or to refer all unusual cytopathology specimens. Unusual specimens in all areas of diagnostic pathology will occasionally require consultation even among expert pathologists. The teaching of cytopathology will still be primarily current cases at the microscope with supplementation by didactic lectures, quizzes, and independent study of textbooks/slide study sets.
