Education

In the brain dissection lab

Faculty in pathology and anatomical sciences teach about normal cells and organs that make up the human body, and about how pathologic processes affect those cells and organs. The Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences considers the education of medical students, graduate students, resident physicians, and undergraduate students to be one of its most important missions. Using cadavers, excavated anatomical specimens, and pathology specimens, the faculty help students develop a better understanding of the human body and pathologic processes.

Courses are offered to undergraduate, graduate, and medical school students. The department also has an ACGME-approved residency program in anatomic and clinical pathology, leading to AP/CP board certification for physicians after graduation from an accredited medical school. A program in clinical laboratory sciences (medical technology) is available jointly through the School of Health Professions, with clinical practical experience in the university laboratories working with university pathologists and in the laboratories of Boyce and Bynum Pathology Laboratories. Students may arrange to work with individual faculty as independent studies, or to conduct research and obtain advanced degrees (M.S., Ph.D.).
