Residency Homepage

  The purpose of the program is to produce well trained practicing physicians in pathology by providing an educational experience in a clinical setting. The residents are given the opportunity to learn through experience in an academic professional environment under the guidance and supervision of attending pathologists. As the residents progress in the program, graded and increased responsibility for independent work is given until the residents are capable of performing with minimal supervision.

The first three core years of the program consist of 18 months of anatomic pathology and 18 months of clinical pathology. The fourth year is a flexible year for electives. A fifth year is offered in several areas. The department takes pride in recruiting a cohesive group of outstanding and committed residents.
