Main ContentPathology Interest Group
Our purpose is to expand awareness and interest among students about the field of pathology. This organization also encourages students to consider pathology as a career, and allows interested students to make contacts with faculty and residents. We also seek to raise awareness among students about the crucial role pathology plays in modern medical practice.
The interest group is available for all medical students who have potential interest in pathology. Meetings generally occur on a monthly basis, and lunch is provided. Meetings also feature a presentation by one or more Department of Pathology faculty members discussing careers in pathology or a presentation of an interesting case. Pathology residents also frequently speak at meetings about life as a resident. Meeting dates and times are announced via campus email.
