During the first lab of the Introduction to Surgical & Autopsy Pathology course, our first-year students jump right into a hands-on “Skills Lab” experience. For many, this is their first time practicing essential grossing techniques!
Using a variety of food items as stand-ins for real specimens, students learn how to ink external surfaces, sample resection margins in multiple orientations, create even serial sections, and trim tissue to fit into cassettes - the same techniques used to prepare real tissue samples for histologic evaluation.
These foundational skills build confidence and precision, helping ensure our students are well prepared to transition to working with actual specimens in the lab.

🚨The application deadline is ONE MONTH away to apply for the UTHSC Pathologists’ Assistant program Class of 2028!! 🚨
Applicants should make sure ALL transcripts, evaluations, and letters of recommendation are received and your application is verified by the deadline.

Our first-year students took a break from lecture to get a little creative - building kidneys out of craft materials to actively study and reinforce the anatomical structures of the organ. For a hands-on profession like ours, sometimes the best way to learn anatomy is to get crafty!

If you live in a state that participates in the Southern Regional Education Board, AND there is not a Pathologists’ Assistant Program offered in your state, you may be eligible for in-state tuition at UTHSC! Please note there is an application and verification process, which you are not able to begin until you have been admitted by UTHSC.
