Dr. Murillo one of our fourth year residents taking a break from board prep. .. our curriculum was designed to help the fourth years have decreased responsibility to focus on board prep.

We have neuropathology conferences every two weeks where we dissect brains after formalin fixation. We also go to the medical examiners office where our neuropathologist examines forensic cases.

Gross conference held once a month. Residents examine organs from an autopsy case a senior resident previously had on service. Age, gender, pathological processes and cause of death are the questions being asked. One resident is selected to give their findings and the senior resident then goes over the case.
