Our flexible program consists of core rotations through each of the basic AP and CP disciplines, followed by advanced rotations and electives including molecular diagnostics, cytogenetics, flow cytometry, forensic pathology, pediatric pathology as well as other subspecialty areas including transplant pathology, dermatopathology, neuropathology, hematopathology and others.

Knowledge and skills are gained through service rotations, a didactic AP/CP core curriculum, numerous subspecialty and interdisciplinary conferences and teaching activities for medical students as well as allied health students.

With the guidance of a large full-time faculty, residents gradually assume greater responsibility for pathology service and activities as they progress through the residency.

Research in investigative pathology including diagnostic, molecular and experimental pathology is encouraged.

Many research opportunities are available for residents within the department and institution.

During the past year, extramural grants totaling in excess of 10.6 million dollars supported the research efforts in our department.

The program is approved for a total of 12 AP/CP residency positions. We typically accept 2-3 new residents annually.

Our department consists of 55 faculty members, approximately 30 of whom have primary teaching responsibilities in the Residency program
