This course has a lecture/seminar component and an illustration component. Pathology lectures are delivered by faculty from the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology. Topics include overviews of cell adaptation and injury, inflammation, immunology, cell repair, and neoplasia, and the histology and pathobiology of specific regions and organ systems. For the illustration component of the course, each student will produce an original, conceptual medical illustration demonstrating pathological change in a tissue over time. Students will also complete a series of graded preparatory studies.

Faculty from Biomedical Communications and Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology will provide guidance, feedback, and technical/content expertise.
