Learn to Gross

Not every interested student can access a classroom – especially during a pandemic. But with a hands-on discipline like pathology, seeing truly is believing. So if the students can’t come to the classroom, the classroom must come to the students. Presented by pathologist’s assistant, lecturer, and faculty preceptor Jason Innerhofer, this series of gross examination tutorials is designed to help pathologist’s assistants and other interested students stay up-to-date on their training – regardless of whether or not they’re able to attend classes in person.
