811. PATHOLOGY
A course of seventy lectures in Pathology, forty demonstrations in Applied Pathology, ten lectures in Chemical Pathology, and practical work in gross and microscopic pathology.
Sит.лвus. The lectures embrace General and Special Pathology. The demon- strations in Applied Pathology and the practical courses are destined to bring the teaching of Pathology as far as possible into direct relation with the clinical study of
disease. Lectures in Chemical Pathology are given by the staff of the Department of Biochemistry during the Second 'Penn of Division III (i.e. March-May).
РвлcтхсАL. Woвк. ( i) Instruction in the conduct of autopsies and demonstra- tions in morbid anatomy, at the University and the Royal Melbourne and St.
Vincent's Hospitals. Students are required to assist personally at autopsies and to act as clerks. A minimum of forty-five attendances must be obtained.
(ii) Laboratory work in pathological histology during three terms.
There is a laboratory fee for use and provision of material; a deposit of d?.5 is to be paid and materials will be provided on production of receipt. On return of material a refund will be made, less a service charge of я.2 plus value of breakages. Students must supply their own microscopes.
(iii ) Tutorial classes in morbid anatomy and applied pathology in which the class is divided into small groups.
(iv ) Students are required to study, with the aid of clinical histories and autopsy notes, the morbid anatomy and histology of the organs and tissues of the cases coming under observation during the course, and to submit for criticism descriptions and discussions of these cases.
