CORE MORPHOLOGIC ENTITIES OF DISEASE FOR SECOND YEAR MEDICAL STUDENTS  

The complete list below was derived primarily from Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease 5th ed, and is modified from a study done at the University of Iowa College of Medicine.

Legend:

# = core morphologic entities of disease based on a consensus of pathologists and clinicians at the University of Iowa. A list of these entities was used to create the computer program IMED (Identification of Morphologic Entities of Disease). A slightly shorter version of the core list is given to our medical students as morphologic objectives for purposes of examination by 2x2 slides.
 
Unmarked entities were not considered core morphologic entities, but were not necessarily excluded from other learning objectives in the Medical Pathology Course.
 
G = gross lesion excised or in situ
M = H&E microscopic
Mgr = microscoplc gram stain
Msi = microscoplc silver stain
Mpas = microscoplc PAS stain
Mfe = microscoplc iron stain
Mco = microscopic Congo red stain
Mwr = microscopic Wrights stain
EM = electron micrograph
Mfl = fluorescence microscopy
