Department of Pathology

Overview

Pathology is a wide-ranging discipline. It covers several fields; some of the themes in pathology are histopathology, cytology, hematopathology, clinical chemistry, and human genetics. The Department of Pathology provides teaching and clinical services to all the above disciplines. The Deparment is involved in several interdisciplinary research projects with other departments.

Facilities

  • Pre-Med Course: An introduction to the study of human diseases (general and molecular pathology; principles of pathology, and pathogenesis of disease)
  • Pre-Clinical Course: Anatomic and clinical pathology of different organs affected by diseases (congenital, inflammatory, traumatic, vascular, degenerative and neoplastic). Pathophysiology, clinical correlations and molecular basis of diseases.
  • Clinical Course: Pathophysiological and molecular aspects of clinical medicine, presented in multidisciplinary seminars.

  • PhD Experimental
  • Pathology PhD Human Genetics

  • Alain Pathology Journal Club.
  • Pathology Elective Training.

  • Pathology Department Instagram Educational site

This is an interactive educational project targeting medical students and residents. It presents clinically encountered clinical cases seen by pathologists as a member of the clinical patient managing team. The cases are presented as they are encountered in the clinical setting by presenting a brief pertinent history, the pathological findings and other supportive investigations, diagnosis and outcome/treatment options. It aids in the educational process through visual memory of the cases presented. Students regularly participate in preparing case discussions.
