DEN1113Y: Advanced Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology III

The objective of the course series Advanced Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology is to teach histopathologic interpretation and diagnosis in the context of clinical and radiographic information and in relation to patient care. The students learn through practice of oral pathology and review all cases accessioned to the Oral Pathology Diagnostic Service under the guidance of the staff oral pathologists. The large volume of accessions is supplemented by case exchanges with graduate programs in Oral Pathology across North America, to broaden the students' exposure to all aspects of oral and maxillofacial pathology. The practice-based learning is supported by student presentations and journal club to address challenging or emerging areas of oral pathology. Maxillofacial Pathology III is designed for senior graduate students in Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology. Students conduct histopathologic interpretation and diagnosis of cases including recurrent, atypical or complex cases, order ancillary tests and generate biopsy reports for review by the attending staff oral pathologist. They will communicate with clinicians to request the necessary clinical and radiographic information, and provide verbal reports. They will assist the teaching staff to organize both incoming and outgoing case exchanges with other oral pathology graduate programs. As senior students, they will mentor junior and intermediate students who are in earlier stages of learning histopathology. They will be knowledgeable of the current oral pathology literature and able to discuss published reports with staff and other residents.
