Tour of Pathology at Hackensack

This week I was fortunate enough to tour the entire pathology department with my mentor. He showed me the process from which tissue samples are harvested and stored to being preserved on wax slides. There are many different stations and technicians that are involved in making a slide for a pathologist to look at. I saw a human's liver being cut into sections for a biopsy. Experiences like this would not be possible without the internship program.
