My third rotation put me back in the classroom for Lab Medicine. No, not those kinds of labs...Lab medicine (or clinical pathology) is the practice of interpreting bloodwork, looking at blood smears, examining cells from masses, growing bacteria from infected tissue, and anything else that you could think to measure in the lab. The clinical pathologists do some of the same work at the anatomic pathologists (the people who perform necropsies in the Diagnostic Lab), except that they generally work with samples from animals who are still alive. The rotation itself was good, but it wasn't much different from being in class like I've done for the past three years.
Stay tuned for an update from my latest (and more exciting) rotation...
