Series Overview
Pathology is the study of disease and encompasses 17 different specialties. A good knowledge of pathology is essential to help you with all aspects of your medical training and your future work as a junior doctor – every medical or surgical specialty is linked to pathology is some way. Regrettably, many medical schools are no longer able to provide sufficient training in this core medical subject area.
Are you a medical undergraduate and keen to improve your pathology knowledge? Then why not sign up to the RCPath/BNS Undergraduate Pathology Teaching!
The teaching is delivered by a group of expert neuropathologists who will teach you about the fundamental aspects of the mechanisms of disease, including inflammation, cancer, infection, thrombosis, infarction, neurodegeneration and much more! As well as basic pathology knowledge each session will be supplemented with plenty of fascinating case examples from the world of neuropathology!
