One of the biggest hurdles in the Sopho- more year is Pathology. From the grapevine a student hears that Wllhe course is good but, man, is it rough. or The first three weeks of lab are hell! or uBy the time you're through Pathology you're a doctor whether you like it or not. After hearing statements like these, there probably is no medical student that does not enter Pathol- ogy with some apprehension and awe but, also, with great expectancy. Very few are disappointed. 'l'he course is toughg the instructors expect a lot and are rough on those that are unprepared. With pressure and sarcasm, caioling with humor, a medi- cal student gets a taste of what it's like to be a doctor. Many students feel that Pathology is the most rewarding and interesting ofthe basic sciences and a lot of the credit belongs to the instructors in the course. Une of the best of these is Dr. Hinerman. Contrary to what the students may think, we're not trying to make anyone into a pathologist, says Hinerman. What we are trying to do is develop the inductive reasoning which every doctor must have to be competent, no matter what his field of practice. This is done in the laboratory using the microscopic slides as the medium. It is my aim to approach stu- dents with enthusiasm. to challenge ever- yone, and to get them actively participating in class. Wie don't judge a student on his ability to get a particular slide correct but on the thinking he used to arrive at a diagnosis, right or wrong. Dr. Hinerman firmly believes that good instructors and teaching are what make a course successful and rewarding to the stu- dent. DORIN L. HINERMAN Dorin L.
