ABOUT US
Pathology involves the examination of tissue specimens to make the official diagnosis of a patient. Pathologists play a crucial role in the multidisciplinary medical team and their findings can often guide patient management. Unfortunately, pathology as a career is not very well represented in the medical school curriculum.
The Pathology Interest Group (PIG) at UMKC School of Medicine aims to show students a side of pathology that they do not get to see from lectures through a variety of fascinating talks and workshops throughout the year. It hopes to allow those interested in pathology to cultivate that interest and get a chance to apply some of the knowledge that they have learned. It is also a good way for medical students to meet faculty members and residents from the pathology department in order to foster good connections with future mentors.
