PROGRAM OUTCOMES At the end of the program, graduates will be able to... PO1: Formulate a diagnostic opinion in a given clinical
situation with an appropriate and relevant sample of tissue, blood, body fluid,
etc. for the purpose of diagnosis and overall wellbeing of the ill. PO2: Demonstrate a commitment to ethical principles
relating to providing patient care, confidentiality of patient information and
informed consent. PO3: Plan a strategy of laboratory investigation of a given
case, given the relevant clinical history and physical findings in a logical
sequence, perform and must be able to correctly interpret the laboratory data
to arrive at a specific diagnosis. PO4: Evaluate clinical and operative data, describe the
gross anatomic alterations in the surgically removed specimens and arrive at a
well-reasoned diagnosis. PO5: Prepare a paraffin block, cut sections of good quality
on microtomes and use cryostat where appropriate. PO6: Demonstrate knowledge of the principles of tissue
processing and various staining procedures including immuno histochemical
stains. PO7: Perform fine needle aspiration of all lumps/ swellings
in patients; make good quality stained smears for cytological diagnosis. PO8: Be conversant with the techniques for concentration of
specimens including filtration, centrifuging
and cytocentrifuging. PO9: Evaluate and interpret the cytology smears in the
context of relevant clinical data for cytological diagnosis. PO10: Perform routine hematological tests like hemogram,
blood and bone marrow smearing and staining. PO11: Perform and interpret special investigations like,
