Student Multidisciplinary Laboratories

ach first- and second-year medical student has a work-study desk in a multidisciplinary lab with an armchair, a bookcase, a storage compartment and two drawers. Each pair of students shares a stand-up bench.

The work-study desk can be used for microscopic studies (Histology, Pathology, Brain and Behavior) or as personal study areas. The labs are open to students 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The large open area in the center of the laboratory has a variety of uses, which include: demonstrations, lectures, group conferences, demonstration microscopes, and extra supplies of equipment (on dispensing carts) or projection of any form of photographic material, etc.

Closed-circuit color television is used to supplement and enrich the usual presentations to the students. Programs can originate in lab, auditorium, or control room. Several departments use closed-circuit television routinely, and videotapes have been made or are being made for several others. These are played back to the class at the appropriate time or as required by the curriculum.

Students receive additional information regarding student laboratory equipment and laboratory operation at the beginning of the school year.
