The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Residency Training Programs’ strengths are based on a combination of superb patient care material, faculty subspecialization with strength in anatomic and clinical pathology, sophisticated research programs, and the most advanced instrumentation. The Department runs a centralized service providing total laboratory support to the hospital and has a robust outreach program in anatomic and clinical pathology. Residents participate in all areas of pathology including autopsy and surgical pathology, immunohistochemistry, EM, cytopathology, forensic pathology, clinical chemistry, toxicology, molecular pathology, cytogenetics/HLA, hematology, transfusion medicine, clinical immunology, and all aspects of microbiology and computerized laboratory management.

Within the program’s first three years, trainees will complete the American Board of Pathology (ABP) eligibility requirements for Anatomic Pathology-only or Clinical Pathology-only board certification. Up to six months of research is permitted during this time, with some flexibility in the scheduling of the clinical training and research elements.  Trainees take the primary certification examination in the spring of the third year of clinical training as soon as ABP training requirements are completed. This will be followed by two years of research and one year of subspecialty fellowship training. Trainees also apply for membership in the Clinical Scholars Program. During the research years, trainees participate in activities related to their subspecialty interest, including weekly conferences and meetings
