DISSECTION AND EVOLUTION OF A PATHOLOGY -
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY COURSE
  • Byron E. Crawford, MD
  • Associate Professor of Pathology
  • Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
  • Tulane University School of Medicine
  • New Orleans, Louisiana

HISTORY
  • Pathology - Pre-1998
  • Pathology and Pathophysiology - 1998-2001
  • Mechanisms of Disease - Pathology and
  • Pathophysiology - 2002
  • 300 lb. Gorilla

5
GOALS
  • 1) To develop an understanding of the causes and
    mechanisms of disease and the associated
    alterations of structure and function of cells,
    tissues, and organ-systems.
  • 2) To develop skills of observation,
    interpretation, and integration needed to analyze
    human disease. When provided with the clinical
    history, the anatomical lesions, and the
    laboratory data of a patient, to determine the
    differential diagnosis, the most likely diagnosis
    and explain the pathogenesis of the disease.

12
Faculty CREATED Problems
  • Tell students, you do not need to know this
  • Tell students, do not use Robbins - it is
    wrong, bad terms
  • Pathology - Clinician disagreements
  • Pimping students
  • Teaching research
  • Excessive teaching of treatment

SOPHOMORE PATHOLOGY COURSE NEUROPATHOLOGY
BLOCK January 6, 2003, 1100 a.m. 1200
noon Dr. Frank Bastian TOPIC Brain Edema,
Herniation Hydrocephalous, and Trauma Objectives,
the student should be able to 1). Discuss the
pathogenesis of cerebral edema and the
differences between vasogenic and cytotoxic
edema. Be able to identify the gross and
microscopic features of cerebral
edema. 2). Discuss the pathogenesis of elevated
intracranial pressure and identify the different
brain herniation syndromes (tonsillar, uncal and
subfalcine herniation). Discuss the gross
morphology of these types of herniation. 3). Orga
nize and be able to discuss the mechanisms of
development of hydrocephalous and the differences
between communicating and noncommunicating
hydrocephalous. Define the term hydrocephalous
ex vacuo and discuss its effect on brain
parenchyma. 4). Discuss the pathogenesis and
gross morphology of an epidural hematoma, acute
subdural hematoma and chronic subdural hematoma.
Compare the etiologies and clinical presentation
of each. 5). Discuss the differences between a
coup and contrecoup contusion and define
concussion, contusion, and laceration. Define
the terms diffuse axonal injury and persistent
vegetative state. 6). Discuss the different
neurologic syndromes, which can develop post CNS
trauma. Vocabulary and Related Terms Define and
be able to use in context Cerebral edem
Subdural hematoma Vasogenic and cytotoxic
edema Lucid interval Tonsillar herniation, uncal
(transtentorial) Bridging veins herniation
and subfalcine herniation Concussion/contusion/la

OBJECTIVES
  • Group Research in Pathology Education
  • (GRIPE)
  • USMLE, STEP 1 Content Outline
  • Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease

17
LIASON COMMITTEE ON MEDICAL EDUCATION(LCME)STAND
ARDS FOR ACCREDITATION
  • Educational objectives state what students are
    expected to learn, not what is to be taught

18
USMLE, Step 1 ContentOBJECTIVES
  • Skin appendage tumors
  • Chlorine gas inhalation
  • Hemochromatosis of heart
  • Autoimmune hypogonadism

19
STUDENT COMMENTSON OBJECTIVES
- extremely helpful and were a great way to
direct my studying . It made Robbins
approachable. - too detailed and very
overwhelming - too broad - objectives do not
always correspond to lecture material -
pathophysiology really didnt have good
objectives - the gang in pathophys should take
a cue from path (and gross anatomy) and make
learning objectives more specific. - the
vocabulary list was very helpful
20

RECOMMENDATIONSCLINICIANS IN T-3 AND T4 CLINICAL
BLOCKS
  • Utilize Case Presentations
  • Acid-base electrolytes regarding surgery patients
  • Increase student exposure to radiologic images in
    relationship to Mechanisms of Diseases
  • Only neurologists should teach neurology
  • Increase practical clinical pharmacology
