Section 5.6 – Chemical Pathology Tutorials Received
We were very fortunate to receive occasional tutorials from pathologists within our department, as well as from alumni that had moved to private practice. Each pathologist covered a variety of topics but also had special interest areas that they focussed on. Repetition of some of these topics through the years has been very helpful as our insight deepens and we appreciate the relevance of each topic to a greater extent.
