The idea of an international program of pregraduate pathology is attractive, but this program might be difficult to establish for several reasons. 1) Even if one admits that the student has no need to know pathology for itself and must only know that part of pathology useful for medical practice, it is still difficult to decide what is really useful. As a matter of fact, this varies in a great extent from country to country. 2) A program considered far to extensive by some schools would be considered ridiculously limited by others. 3) Overall, one might be concerned that an international program would be inaccurate in most cases.
