Anatomic Pathology          Clinical Pathology

The department presently supports 20 residencies/internships with 5 chief residents/surgical pathology fellowships. Medical student fellowships at the post-sophomore or post-junior level are also available for a one-year intensive exposure to the basic sciences of pathology. The training program for most residents is a combined format with clinical pathology and anatomic pathology rotations intermixed throughout a given academic year. This allows early exposure to all essential aspects of the disciplines. Typically, most of the basic rotations in clinical pathology, autopsy and surgical pathology are performed in the first two years of the program. In the third year, forensic pathology and cytopathology are emphasized. Various electives are available for fourth and fifth year training. Specialized training in a given area can also be arranged for those interested in specific anatomic or clinical pathology disciplines.
