PATHOLOGY (INCLUDING MICROBIOLOGY) PATHOLOGY

PATHOLOGY

The examination in Pathology will test the candidate's knowledge of the general pathological processes and of the special pathology of conditions affecting the appa-

101

ratus of vision, adnexae and adjacent structures. It will include the recognition and interpretation of specimens illustrating relevant morbid anatomy and histology.

it is recommended that, in addition to standard textbooks of Pathology, the pathological sections of standard works on the specialty be studied. A knowledge of relevant pathological topics appearing in current medical periodicals in the English language will be expected.
