Year 2 Winter
Students have the opportunity to take advantage of faculty availability and BMC facilities to make as much headway on their MRPs as possible, as well as take additional elective courses that either further the MRP or develop additional visual communication skills. Visual Representation of Processes in Pathology offers guest lectures from the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology. Lecture topics include overviews on cell adaptation and injury, inflammation, immunology, cell repair, and neoplasia, and the histology and pathobiology of specific regions and organ systems. In the illustration component of this course students produce an original, conceptual medical illustration demonstrating pathological change in a tissue over time. At the same time, students prepare for the BMC graduate showcase–an opportunity to present their achievements from the past two years, and network with professionals in industry.
