Anatomy & Histopathology I: Focus on Cancer
2022 Summer Cancer Webinar Series
This 4-session virtual webinar series will provide a general survey of the anatomy, histology and histopathology of various organ systems with a focus on cancer. Major cancers to be covered include: skin, breast, lung, prostate, pancreatic, colorectal, cervical/ovarian/endometrial, and kidney/bladder. The sessions will utilize models, virtual human dissector programs, 3D reconstructions of CT scan in patients on the SECTRA Education Portal, ultrasound imaging of organs in standardized patients, and virtual histology and histopathology resources.
This series is targeted to upper level high school students (i.e., juniors and seniors) and college students. All sessions will be held on ZOOM and conducted by UAMS faculty. Previous knowledge of general anatomy or histology is helpful but not required.
