The three-, four- and sometimes five-year experiences span the broad disciplines of pathology, with programs available to suit all interests. The post-graduate training years are intense and demanding, but also rewarding and exciting. Although initial training is highly supervised, emphasis is placed on the acquisition of skills that will allow the resident to function as a confident and highly effective member of a health care team.

One of the Department's longstanding traditions is to provide core clinical and research training for individuals planning a career in academic pathology. However, our programs are also well-suited to individuals who plan to pursue careers in hospital- or community-based medical practice.

The goals of the Residency Program are:

• To insure that residents become proficient in core clinical competencies and evidence- and practice-based medicine, while also acquiring essential interpersonal and communication skills.


• To train clinically-oriented residents in modern methods of clinical investigation to advance knowledge applied to anatomic pathology and laboratory medicine.


• To provide opportunities to participate in sophisticated biomedical research that advances knowledge of the molecular pathogenesis of human disease.
