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.
