Clinical Training
Your first year of training will emphasize skill development
in diagnostic neuropathology, including:
- Electron microscopy
- Gross and light microscopic interpretations
- Immunohistochemistry
- Special stains and procedures utilization
You will participate in brain cuttings, histopathologic reviews
and didactic teaching sessions and interdepartmental teaching conferences.
Didactic Training
There is an integrated didactic core lecture series, attended
by all residents and fellows, which covers a range of topics in
anatomic and clinical pathology. There are weekly education conferences
in neuropathology and periodically you will be expected to present
material at this conference. An extensive teaching file containing
glass slides demonstrates the entire spectrum of neuropathological
disease.
Research Training
During the first year, you also will start a research project
that will become the focus of your second year of training. Research
opportunities are available in:
- Demyelinating and neurodegenerative diseases
- Molecular biology
- Neurogenetics
- Neuroimmunology
- Neurovirology
- Tumor neuropathology
Your advisor or mentor will assist you in identifying and organizing
a research project.
