Courses in pathogenesis and basic sciences are offered in the first two years of the curriculum, with more specialized study offered through electives in the third and fourth years. Lectures are supplemented with study labs and small group sessions to maximize the opportunity for interaction among the students and faculty. Our faculty have developed subject-specific CD-ROMs as teaching tools, and our presence on the worldwide web allows us to offer lab sections and syllabi in an electronic format. This progressive approach to teaching provides a flexible and efficient use of resources and teaching materials. The Department of Pathology shares the objectives of Virginia Commonwealth University to:
- Maintain an environment of educational excellence.
Demonstrate exemplary standards of clinical practice and scientific investigation.
- Promote an educational atmosphere that motivates intellectual curiosity, meets students' interests in lifelong learning, and promotes excellence in skills and knowledge development.
