| Medical students will participate in daily neurosurgical review of current cases, including time in frozen section lab and autopsies. Students will observe and participate in brain cutting conferences and neuro-oncology tumor board meetings. Other opportunities include introduction to basic and clinical research techniques used in neuropathology. It is expected that a detailed knowledge of clinicopathologic correlation of neurological diseases and neuroanatomy (gross and microscopic) be accomplished during the rotation.
