Sarah M. Dry, MD, Chair

 

Pathology is the branch of medicine concerned with the causes and development of disease.

Coursework is designed so that students gain an in-depth knowledge of cell and molecular biology, genetics, and disease mechanisms. Didactic instruction is complemented by participation in seminars and training in the design and execution of original laboratory research. As a result, graduates obtain the expertise to translate and answer questions defined in the clinical area to the laboratory bench and vice versa. For more information, see the department website.

Pathology and Laboratory Medicine faculty information is available from the department.
