Students will review cases received in the lab, participate in daily teaching sessions and sign out at the multi-headed microscope and participate in the complete work-up of these pathologic specimens. The observer will learn how ocular structure and function are affected by the major ocular diseases through the study of current and teaching slide sets of pathologic specimens. The students will learn how to examine ocular specimens using a microscope and learn the value of ancillary techniques to include immunohistochemistry and molecular studies. It is expected that they will have a functional vocabulary of ophthalmic terms, a working knowledge of ocular anatomy, and a rational approach to eye disease at the completion of this course. Clinical-pathologic correlation and therapy will be emphasized.
