Welcome to the University of Nebraska Medical Center Department of Pathology and Microbiology! We are excited for your interest in our program. I’m Joe Rohr, the chief resident in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology. I’m from Detroit, have a BS and a BA from Tulane University, New Orleans, LA, and earned my PhD in 2016 and MD in 2018 from UNMC. I will pursue a fellowship in hematopathology starting in July 2022.
Our program offers fantastic opportunities in all aspects of anatomic and clinical pathology education and practice. As the major academic and referral medical center for Nebraska, we average over 60,000 surgical specimens per year from all organ systems (with only a slight dip for COVID last year), including daily intraoperative diagnoses in-house and by telepathology at other medical facilities, and practice subspecialty signout. We are a major center for solid organ transplant and benefit from regularly perform donor organ assessment as well. In addition to solid organ, we are the largest bone marrow transplant program for the state and participate in the diagnosis and follow-up of thousands of hematolymphoid malignancy cases per year. Our hospital autopsy service is likewise active.
Our clinical pathology services are also highly regarded. In addition to our very active hospital microbiology laboratory, our department houses the state microbiology and toxicology laboratories and the federally funded biocontainment unit for BSL4 infectious agents. Our apheresis service has one of the largest sickle cell exchange programs in the world and performs approximately 2000 procedures per year. Our molecular pathology groups accomplish tissue typing and crossmatches for organ transplant, participate in forensic analysis, and house numerous targeted sequencing platforms. We are the clinical chemists and blood bankers for UNMC and outlying hospitals.
In terms of lifestyle, Omaha is a great, relatively inexpensive place to live with a large restaurant scene and plenty of fun activities for adults and families. Our benefits are highly competitive.
