The
Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine offers a fully approved
five-year training program in both anatomic and clinical pathology,
as well as training in AP only and CP only. The training program
encompasses all academic and surgical pathology specialties, including
ophthalmic pathology, cytology and fine needle aspiration, immunopathology
and electron microscopy, hematopathology, neuropathology and autopsy/forensics.
The Jules Stein Institute provides an unusual opportunity for eye
pathology and research. Also, UCLA neuropathology faculty support
neuropathology services at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Approximately 25,000 surgical specimens and 30,000 cytologic specimens
are reviewed per year at UCLA by faculty in the various anatomic
pathology divisions. There is also ample opportunity to review outside
consultation specimens. UCLA additionally coordinates trainee rotations
at the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office, which provides an interesting
profile of forensic cases for UCLA pathology residents.
