PATH 21N: The Living Genome: Implications for Biology and Beyond

IntroSem with Freshmen preference. The human genome carries the instructions for normal human development and reproduction. But it also carries predispositions to disease and clues to our evolution, ancestry, and identity. The genome may also be pliable to environmental influences and genetic engineering. Through directed readings, discussion, and activities, students will learn about the human genome and applications of genome science and technology across diverse disciplines including medicine, comparative biology, evolutionary biology, paternity testing, and forensics. The broad goal is to become informed and engaged about genome science and its implications for both the individual and society. Prerequisites: High School Biology

PATH 302A: Pathology Clerkship

VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Elective. DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this clerkship is to introduce students to pathology clinical services. The clerkship is customizable based on student interests, with experiences on services in both anatomic and clinical pathology or just one of these fields. For students contemplating a career in pathology, this clerkship provides an excellent opportunity for exposure to the field and to the residency program in pathology at Stanford. Students interested in other fields will learn how pathology interfaces with other areas in medicine, as well as the basic sciences. Student rotations are typically by week on a specific service. Anatomic Pathology services include surgical pathology subspecialties (breast, CT/ENT, GYN, GI, Pediatric, Bone/Soft tissue and GU pathology), intra-operative consultation/frozens service, cytopathology, dermatopathology, neuropathology, hematopathology and autopsy. Clinical Pathology services include hematology, coagulation, transfusion medicine, chemistry/immunology, biochemical genetics, cytogenetics, microbiology/virology, and molecular diagnostics. Exposure to some services may be limited based on service specific scheduling. Students are expected to work-up cases and review findings with faculty at signout times. Occasional presentations on educational cases/topics are also sometimes a component of the clerkship depending on rotation/service. AP rotations may require handing gross specimens and learning the basics of gross dissection for pathology diagnosis (with supervision). Attendance at pathology conferences is an essential part of the clerkship. Internal Rotators: please download the Department of Pathology Clerkship Application and return to pathology clerkship coordinator as soon as your registration is complete, or you receive an approval from the program director. Visiting Rotators: must complete the Department of Pathology Clerkship Application at: http://med.stanford.edu/pathology/education.html and submit for approval to the clerkship coordinator, prior to applying for this course. Score Program: This clerkship participates in the SCORE program, a diversity promotion program run by the Stanford Clerkship Office that provides other support for outside rotators.
