Pathology - Undergraduate
Teaching
The Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MB ChB) degree is
commonly referred to as the 'medical degree'. School leavers enrol at
Otago for the common Health Sciences First Year course and then apply
for admission to second year medicine. Graduates may also apply for admission
at second year. If successful, students will complete a further five
years, then after graduation work for another year under probation in
order to gain general registration. There is a wide range of specialisation
available in the public and private sectors, involving research, academic
medicine, public health, clinical medicine and other areas. Specialties
include Cardiology, Oncology, Paediatrics, Psychological Medicine, Surgery,
Pathology, Public Health, General Practice and many others. Most doctors
complete postgraduate training in their chosen specialty.
Medical laboratory scientists are important members of the health services,
and this four year degree course is designed to provide the basic university
qualification necessary to work as a medical laboratory scientist. It
also allows entry to a wide range of other laboratory-based jobs, including
research and postgraduate academic study, e.g. Master of Medical Laboratory
Science (MMLSc).
