Anatomical Pathology

This elective is structured to acquaint students with disease processes by the study of surgical pathology, cytology, and autopsy material and to correlate the clinical and pathological abnormalities. Considerable flexibility is possible so that a student may spend more time in areas of particular interest, such as neuropathology, gynaecological, fetal and neonatal, renal, cardiac, hepatic, or pulmonary pathology, etc. , depending upon the hospital selected and staff available. Participation in teaching conferences is encouraged. The number of students which can be accommodated is variable depending upon the specific hospital. Participating hospitals are listed below:
