PATH 815A The Clinical Practice of Telemedicine (3-6) The goal of this elective is to introduce the student to the practice of telemedicine. Telemedicine allows for patient evaluation at a distance. By allowing the patient to remain in her/his own community, telemedicine is thought to increase access to care. Although the main focus of this elective is clinical, students interest in technology assessment, economic evaluation and patient education are encouraged. Placements at rural sites are available.

PATH 815B Introduction to Dermatopathology (3-4) Goals: Upon successful completion of this elective, students will be able to: 1 - explain how skin biopsies are obtained and processed; demonstrate a basic understanding of the microscopic structure of the skin and subcutis; demonstrate a familiarity with the variety of inflammatory and neoplastic diseases of the skin and diagnose common skin tumors; explain the importance of clinicopathologic correlation in dermatopathology; explain the limitations of histopathologic evaluation of skin disease; publish a case report in dermatopathology (optional) 3L, 3R. P, 1 month of clinical dermatology, 1 month of pathology preferred, prior consent of instructor.

PATH 891A Pathology (1-18) [Rpt./ 54 units] I II
