PATHOLOGY
Pathology C1: Anatomy C1 and Physiology C1 prerequisite.—8 hours
weekly during the first term; 11 hours weekly during the second term, and 9 hours
weekly during the third term. By a systematic series of lectures, combined with
demonstrations of both gross and microscopic preparations, the various morbid
conditions of the body are presented. In the laboratory, under supervision, the
student personally examines all of the gross material and devotes considerable time
to the study of the loan-collection of slides with which he is provided.
In addition to this systematic portion of the course an attempt is made to
acquaint the students with fresh tissues and disease as seen at the autopsy table.
With this end in view the class is divided into small groups of students each of
which assists at a limited number of autopsies. Fresh tissues are demonstrated
during class hours and, whenever possible, autopsies are performed before the entire
class.

Pathology D1: Pathology C1 prerequisite.—An elective course in pathology
is offered to all students of the fourth-year medical class 2 hours weekly throughout
the session. The nature of his course will vary according to the number of
students who apply for it. Regardless of the manner in which the course is conducted,
its general purpose is to afford the student, who has already had considerable
training in clinical medicine, a systematic review of the anatomical
changes occurring in the commonly encountered diseases. The current pathological
material is demonstrated to this group of students throughout the year.
A limited number of students, who seem properly qualified, may undertake
the study of special problems in which they may be interested. Hours by special
arrangement.
Dr. Cash and Dr. Scherer.
