The schedule is individualized to fit the student's areas of interest, and opportunities are available in a wide array of diagnostic subspecialties, including but not limited to dermatopathology, gynecologic pathology and molecular diagnostics. Participation in autopsies is available for interested students. Interactive and individualized microscopic teaching sessions are provided, and students may join in daily educational didactic conferences in the department.
