The goal of the General Pathology Elective course is to provide an overview of the function of Anatomical Pathology (AP) and Clinical Pathology (CP) within the Department of Pathology at the University of Tennessee Medical Center. The objectives for this course are to understand the function of the pathology “gross” room, understand the Surgical Pathology “sign-out” procedure learn to order and interpret laboratory tests for common clinical situations, gain an understanding of the operation of the major sections of a modern clinical laboratory and understand the role of pathology/ pathologists participation in the medical center. Students will participate in regular teaching activities of the Pathology Department including daily lectures, demonstrations, and conferences. Specific conferences the students will attend are: Anatomic Pathology, Oncology Conference, Pulmonary Conference, Breast Conference, Quality Assurance Conference and GU Conference. Students will learn the role of the pathologist in patient care by observing procedures such as FNAs, bone marrows, frozen sections and processing surgical specimens. At the beginning of the rotation, a customized schedule will be made for the student, and time will be allotted for study in the following major subdivisions of pathology: Surgical Pathology, Clinical Chemistry, Hematopathology, Blood Banking, Microbiology, and Cytology. Students are required to give a brief presentation at the end of the rotation on a topic in clinical or anatomic pathology under the guidance of the chief resident and program director. Upon conclusion of the elective, the student will have an understanding of the practice of pathology in a university medical center.

• PED 40110 - Junior Internship in NICU

  This is a face to face clinical rotation receiving 6 credit hours. The student will function as a junior intern with increased autonomy in patient care and must demonstrate competency in all of the Entrustable Professional Activities required for graduation. For this Junior Internship, the student’s care of critically ill infants is under direct ongoing supervision of NICU faculty and/or fellows. Evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of neonates are based upon pathophysiologic principles. The relationship of infants’ disorders to intrauterine events is stressed. The student participates in rounds and supervised patient care on the same basis as the pediatric intern. This includes delivery room management of distressed infants, admission of inborn and transported neonates, management of respiratory support, fluids and electrolytes and all other considerations that comprise multisystem support of sick infants, as well as procedures inherent to such care. Students would also be expected to write orders that can be cosigned and take overnight call or participate in a series of night shifts one week of the rotation. Exposure to neonates with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) would highlight the current national health crisis of narcotic addiction and its impact on newborn. Ongoing communication with perinatal social workers, whose activities are concerned with high-risk infants and their mothers, will expose the student to the highly sensitive psychosocial ramifications experienced by the families of babies in intensive care units.
