M.D. Curriculum (Phase III)
During their Junior clerkship, students learn about Dermatopathology as part of their Clinical Dermatology rotation.
The senior clerkship students spend two days in the Pathology department as part of the SLT block. They rotate between main histology, cytology, immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. They also attend the tumor board multidisciplinary meeting. Over the course of the two days, they learn about how specimens are to be submitted to the lab, both surgical biopsies and cytology samples, all steps involved in lab processing of the specimens and the importance of certain techniques such as frozen section, immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy.
