Description: Students are trained to function as first year residents on the autopsy service. They become responsible for work-up and sign-out of their cases and in other respects participate fully in the life of the Autopsy department. There are informal case conferences at the autopsy table and at multi headed microscopes. Students have the opportunity to present cases at departmental and interdepartmental conferences or to write cases for publication. Brief supplementary exposures to other aspects of pathology (general surgery pathology, surgical pathology subspecialties, forensic pathology, and clinical pathology) are offered to students who enroll.
