The goal of this rotation is to familiarize the medical student with the role of pathology in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of patients through the activities of pathologist as members of the clinical team.

LAMP 7158 - Cardiac Pathology

(4 cr; H-N only; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer)

Students will observe examinations of existing and newly acquired cardiovascular specimens to identify variations of specific congenital and acquired disease entities and their functional significance.

LAMP 7181 - Hematopathology

(4 cr; P-N only; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer)

Over the course of the rotation, students will be fully integrated into the blood and bone marrow biopsy service, with ?ownership? of their cases and graduated responsibility for their level of training. They will learn to preview/interpret blood smears and write up preliminary diagnostic reports.

LAMP 7184 - Introduction to Transfusion Therapy

(2 cr [max 4]; H-N only; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer; may be repeated for 4 credits)

The student will address transfusion problems in patients with red cell, white cell, and platelet antibodies and coagulopathy.

LAMP 7186 - Laboratory Medicine in a Community Hospital

(4 cr; H-N only; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer)

The student will specialize in one or two areas of the clinical lab but will participate in all its general teaching activities. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: Students must contact Dr. Apple at least one month prior to beginning elective.

LAMP 7187 - Interpretation of Lab Data

(4 cr; Prereq-Med Student Yr 3 or 4/one previous rotation; P-N only; offered Every Fall)

This course is designed for 3rd and 4th year medical students who are faced with the challenge of bringing the extensive diagnostic capabilities of the clinical laboratory to bear on specific clinical problems.

LAMP 7195 - Medical Informatics

(4 cr; H-N only; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer)

Medical informatics uses computer and information science to solve problems in medicine, health care delivery, and medical research. The student works on a project under the supervision of faculty and/or fellows in medical informatics. The specific project depends on faculty availability and the student's background, interests, and experience. Projects have included computer assisted instruction for medical students or patients, computer-based medical decision support systems, creation of clinical database management systems, and statistical analysis of data from clinical research. As schedule permits, the student is expected to attend health informatics courses and seminars.

LAMP 7210 - Surgical Pathology for Post-M.D.s

(1 cr [max 10]; Prereq-Regis med fellow special; H-N or Audit; offered Every Fall & Summer; may be repeated for 10 credits)

Surgical Pathology for post MD's.

LAMP 7500 - Acting Internship-Hematopathology

(4 cr; P-N only; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer)

Over the course of the 4 week rotation, students (acting as a first year LMP resident) will be fully integrated into the blood and bone marrow biopsy service, with ?ownership? of their cases and graduated responsibility for their level of training. They will learn to preview/interpret blood smears and write up preliminary diagnostic reports. Once they are competent with blood smears, they will progress to bone marrow aspirate and biopsy interpretation, including drafting a diagnostic report. Special studies are often performed simultaneously and may include immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry; the student will learn how these influence overall diagnosis and how they are integrated into the report. There are weekly multidisciplinary and unknown teaching conferences, as well as a daily consensus/teaching conference. The student will become acquainted with the various complimentary modalities used to distinguish between reactive etiologies and malignant neoplasms and learn how to classify the more common types of hematopoietic neoplasms, including leukemias and lymphomas. The student will typically work individually with each of the 7 faculty over the course of the month. The evaluation is done as a group to gather input from each faculty member. The course grade is based on the appraisal of the student's ability to recognize and describe the more common types of hematolymphoid disorders, both reactive and neoplastic as well as all core competencies including professionalism and medical knowledge. The student is required to select a topic in hematopathology, review the medical literature and present a 20-minute talk to the residents, fellows and faculty. The talk is usually case-based, with a brief presentation followed by literature review.

LAMP 7501 - Acting Internship Pathology_Transfusion Medicine

(4 cr; P-N only; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer)

The acting intern will function as an integral part of the Transfusion Medicine service. Responsibilities will go beyond that of the general medical student clerkship (LAMP 7184), and will align with the expectations and goals of pathology residents on this rotation. These enhanced responsibilities will include: - Coverage of the daytime service pager. This will greatly enhance the acting intern's ability to function as an integral part of the health care team. These calls include interactions with laboratory staff as well as clinical teams. - Primary responsibility to collect, evaluate, and present assessments of blood bank evaluation forms and transfusion reactions. - Develop the skills to perform clinical consultations for apheresis patients, beginning with stem cell collections, and moving on to therapeutic apheresis procedures. Write consultation notes to document these interactions and activities. - Write orders for upcoming apheresis procedures. - Take 1 week of overnight call with a University of Minnesota Transfusion Medicine physician. Plan for this during week 3 or 4 of the acting internship. - Seek out independent learning on transfusion medicine topics. Physical textbooks are available onsite; additional suggestions for online materials and resources can also be made available.

LAMP 7502 - Acting Internship Pathology_Surgical Pathology

(4 cr; P-N only; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer)

The acting intern will function as an integral part of the Surgical Pathology service. The surgical pathology service at the University of Minnesota is a sub-specialty based sign-out (primarily based on organ system). Interns will be placed onto service(s) based on their interests, career goals, and service availability. Responsibilities will go beyond that of the general medical student clerkship, and will align with the expectations and goals of pathology residents on this rotation. Acting interns will be expected to take cases to preview, review with the attending, and compose reports in Beaker. They will have graduated responsibilities as the rotation proceeds, but will begin the rotation reviewing the patient's clinical history and start composing the pathology report. They will meet with a surgical pathology attending to sign-out cases on days that they are not in the gross room. The acting intern will be in the gross room intermittently (likely once per week) and will also participate in frozen sections when they are in the gross room.
