Uganda 2017

January 13th – Feb 6th Anatomic pathology dissection instruction with histological correlation will be provided to 3 medical students with the Mbarara University of Science and Technology. Topics covered include:

– Breast dissection and tumor differentiation
– Colonic resections and cancer staging

Instruction to histology staff related to small biopsy submission and standard of procedure improvements.

Efforts to organize the current and future tissue blocks and slides to improve turnaround times for cases is a side focus of the trip and will require local Ugandan assistance for building new filing storage containers.
