In March, starting next week (4 March 2025), we will have clinical weeks – excursions, and we are attaching organizational information below.
A brief overview of the organization of each day for better understanding:
4 March 2025
Laboratory demonstrations – without Kahoot quizzes and without autopsy practice. Seminar after the laboratory session.
11 March 2025
Kahoot quizzes for both groups – without autopsy practice. Kahoot and seminar for both groups.
18 March 2025
Student presentations – without Kahoot quizzes and without autopsy practice. Seminar for both groups.
25 March 2025
Kahoot quizzes for both groups – without autopsy practice. Kahoot and seminar for both groups.
We kindly ask the respective group to meet on the day of their practical session at 12:35 in the seminar room. Your assistant, together with other teachers, will pick you up and, after a short introductory speech, divide you into 4 groups of 6–7 students. You may arrange the groups in advance to avoid wasting time dividing into groups on site.
Each group will then be assigned two laboratories from our institute. The assigned pathologist will escort each group to the first laboratory. The visit to the first laboratory will last approximately 45 minutes, after which the staff will direct you to the second laboratory for another 45 minutes.
Prepared demonstrations include:
- Grossing room for biopsy specimens
- Histopathological staining
- Intraoperative (frozen section) biopsy service
- Electron microscopy laboratory (EM)
- Muscle disease laboratory
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC) laboratory
- Flow cytometry (FACS)
- FISH laboratory
- Molecular pathology techniques
After completing your excursions, each group will prepare an approximately 5-minute report with a presentation, which you will present to your classmates and selected faculty members during the following clinical week (March 18).
This approach is intended to help maintain your attention during the excursions, allow you to try certain procedures in practice, observe the real daily workflow in pathology, and better understand and remember the methods compared to simply reading about them in a textbook.
We believe you will enjoy the clinical weeks at least as much as the previous year’s students did.
