Pathology/Pharmacology Resources

Pathology, Pharmacology, and the Expert Skills Program

Pathology and pharmacology hold a special importance in the ESP due to their integrative nature. More than simply learning about disease, pathology also teaches through comparison about normal. Similarly, more than just learning about biochemistry, one learns about how molecular processes can be influenced by chemical agents.  Virtually everything learned in earlier courses can be integrated into pathology and pharmacology.
