Learning objectives

The University Hospital Basel is responsible for the care of the population of a catchment area of approx. 500,000 people. Students will gain an insight into all levels of care, from basic care in the urban catchment area to centralized medicine at a university hospital. In particular, they will gain an insight into the special aspects of pathology and learn about the possibilities and limitations of the methods we use and understand their application in routine clinical practice.

This includes

• Collecting macroscopic pathology findings at autopsy
• Collecting histopathological findings under the microscope
• Systematic analysis of given pathological changes with differential diagnostic assessment in a clinical context
• Discovering an interest in and inclination towards the field of pathology
• Presentation of findings during the daily biopsy discussion
• The students actively participate in the daily workflow of the Institute of Pathology, in particular in the histopathology/autopsy department.

There is an annual job quota.

Program duration:

• One month, from the first day of the month to the last day of the month.

Rotations:

• We take preferences into account where possible, but cannot guarantee a desired placement.

The Department of Pathology does not offer clinical traineeships.
