The Academic Program
Pathology (PATH) is the study of disease. Instruction
in pathology is open to undergraduate, graduate, and medical students
and residents. All medical students may elect to take PATH 515 as a part
of the problem-based learning curriculum. PATH 541 provides essential
autopsy experience for all third- and fourth-year medical students, and
residents may enroll in one or more of PATH 545, 670, and 699.
Instruction in laboratory medicine for the practicing physician,
clinical pathology, anatomic pathology, clinical immunology, and
pathology of aging, nutrition, and/or alcoholism is offered.
The department directs an integrated residency program
in pathology. Residents are based at Kaiser Hospital, Queen’s Medical
Center, and St. Francis Hospital and participate in the training of
medical students and residents alike. Clinical faculty come from all the
community hospitals and provide gross and microscopic specimens for
demonstration and clinico-pathologic correlations for medical students
and residents. In addition, they participate in seminars and give
lectures along with the full- and part-time faculty.

The Academic Program
Pediatrics (PED) is the specialty of medical science
concerned with the physical, emotional, and social health of children
from birth to young adulthood. The discipline deals with biological,
social, and environmental influences on the developing child and with
the impact of disease and dysfunction on development.
The Department of Pediatrics offers specialty training
for the medical student, as well as post-MD residency training and
subspecialty experience.

The Academic Program
Pharmacology (PHRM) is a medical science concerned
with the effects of drugs and chemicals on living organisms. The subject
embraces a knowledge of the chemistry, actions, absorption, fate,
excretion, and uses of drugs. Traditionally, the greatest interest in
drugs has been with the health professions. Today, however, a knowledge
of pharmacology and the allied field of toxicology is relevant to all
segments of society. It is important that the general public acquire a
better understanding of the value, limitations, and potentially harmful
effects of drugs and chemicals.
The general objectives and functions of the Department
of Pharmacology include (a) teaching the discipline to both health
professionals and nonprofessionals, (b) training graduate students, (c)
conducting scholarly research in the discipline, and (d) participating
in community-service activities that require the expertise of
pharmacologists. |
