  1. PATHOLOGY INTEREST GROUP David N. Bailey, M.D. Vice Chair for Education UC San Diego Department of Pathology September 18, 2012 UC San Diego Health System Center for Advanced Laboratory Medicine 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

  2. Purpose • To stimulate interest in Pathology as a career for those who have not decided upon a Pathology career and to enhance interest and information for those who have decided to pursue Pathology as a career

  3. Pathology Interest Group Meetings (2012-13) • September 18, 2012 (Ronald McLawhon) (Overview of Pathology; Tour of CALM) • November 15, 2012 (Robert Newbury) (Pediatric Pathology) • January 8, 2013 (Steven Gonias) (Physician-Scientists in Pathology) • March 21, 2013 (Scott VandenBerg) (Neuropathology) Liebow Auditorium, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM

  4. TONIGHT’S PROGRAM • Overview of Pathology as a Discipline (David N. Bailey) • UC San Diego Pathology Residency Program (Brian Datnow) • Pathology Resident Panel (Deidre Amaro and David Li, Co-Chairs) • Tour of Center for Advanced Laboratory Medicine (CALM) (Ronald McLawhon)

  5. Why Pathology? • Interesting case material (broad and diverse) • Profession compatible with: - Teaching (e.g., in ISC – pathologists chair immunology, microbiology, hematology, and direct the pathology and histology threads) (popular teachers – multiple Kaiser awards; six campus-wide distinguished teaching awards)

  6. Why Pathology? (cont.) • Also compatible with: - Research and scholarly pursuits (some Nobel laureate pathologists, e.g., J. Robin Warren – h. pylori; Beruj Benacerraf – immunological reactions; George Whipple – intrinsic factor; Karl Landsteiner – ABO blood groups; Thomas Weller – cultivation of polio virus in tissue culture; Peyton Rous – tumor-producing viruses)

  7. Why Pathology? (cont.) • Also compatible with: - Administration (obviously chairs and directors of pathology – BUT also – chief of staff in medical centers and even medical school deans – e.g., Johns Hopkins, Yale, Loma Linda, U. Minnesota, U. Kansas, Ohio State University, Emory University, U. Wisconsin, UC San Diego, and UC Irvine) - Business (commercial laboratories)

  8. Why Pathology? (cont.) • Multiple subspecialties from which to choose • Potentially less hectic lifestyle • Salaries are good

  9. Selected Pathology Subspecialties • Anatomic Pathology -Surgical Pathology -Cytopathology -Autopsy Pathology -Forensic Pathology -Neuropathology -Molecular Genetics Pathology -Pediatric Pathology

  10. Selected Pathology Subspecialties (cont.) • Clinical Pathology (Laboratory Medicine) -Clinical Chemistry -Hematopathology -Transfusion Medicine -HLA and Transplantation -Immunopathology -Microbiology

  11. Subdisciplines • Many subdisciplines exist within the subspecialities (e.g., virology, mycology, bacteriology, toxicology, coagulation, enzymology, cytogenetics, molecular diagnostics, etc.)

  12. Where do Pathologists Work? • Medical Centers • Schools of Medicine • Medical Examiner’s Offices • Government (e.g., Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; VA Medical Centers; NIH) • Commercial Laboratories • Private Pathology Practice Groups Covering Multiple Centers

  13. Direct Patient Interaction Possible: Some Examples • Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology • Hematopathology (Bone-Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy) • Transfusion Medicine Work-up • Invited Consultations

  14. Pathology Clinical Selectives and Electives • Clinical Clerkships in Surgical Pathology, Cytopathology, Autopsy, Ophthalmic Pathology, Laboratory Medicine, Pediatric Pathology (four weeks in fourth year) • Selectives (two weeks – third year in surgery block) UC San Diego Surgical Pathology VA San Diego Health Care System – Anatomic Pathology Ophthalmic Pathology (They count as “surgical” selectives too!)

  15. Pathology Clinical Selectives and Electives (cont.) • Pre-Clerkship Experience in Laboratory Medicine (Fall Quarter – MS II; Winter Quarter – MS I/MS II)
