These images with text and tutorials are an on-line electronic course in pathology to assist students in the health sciences learning about the pathologic basis of disease and provide continuing education to health care workers wanting to obtain more knowledge about disease processes and develop diagnostic skills. The images, text, and examination questions cover all subject areas on the Pathology section of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Part I.
Many of the images seen here have been obtained from autopsy and cannot be obtained except through autopsy. The autopsy has been a vital part of medicine for over 300 years. An autopsy allows someone who has died to benefit other persons still alive or in the future. This is accomplished through the contributions of autopsy to: (1) improve the quality of medical diagnosis and therapy, (2) support research into new methods of diagnosis and treatment, (3) determine if there are diseases that may affect other family members, (4) help epidemiological studies by providing accurate statistical information about causes of death and about disease processes present, and to (5) support medical education. Additional images have also been obtained from surgical pathology specimens, cytopathology slides, and clinical laboratory specimens.
