PATHOL 423C
Autopsy Pathology
Carolyn Glass
Description from DukeHub
The course is intended to introduce students to the autopsy as an investigative tool. Anatomic-clinical correlation is emphasized. Students work directly with one or more members of the pathology department. They first view autopsies and then assist in the performance of autopsies under supervision. They work up these cases with particular attention to correlations with clinical and experimental medicine, help prepare the final autopsy reports, and work essentially at the level of a house officer. Students are expected to write up one full autopsy report for an autopsy they participated in as their final project. For more information, please contact: Meridith Hennessey, M.H.S., (contact listed in DukeHub). Credit: 4. Enrollment: max 2. Huihua Li, MD/PhD
Skills
AI-resilient: 2 of 5
- Yes: Physical, lab or field work · clinical rotation
- Yes: Live work with people · "clinical"
- No: Judgment someone is accountable for
- No: A craft you practice with your hands or body
- No: Small, in-person format
The checks lean on Microsoft Research, Working with AI (2025), which found generative AI applies least to physical work and hands-on work with people. A signal, not a promise. How the score works
