The Department of Pathology and its motivated academic staff provide outstanding opportunities for graduate training, and play key roles in undergraduate medical education.

Pathology is one of the most diverse specialties in medicine. It incorporates a number of highly individualized and apparently separate disciplines. The Department provides residency training for physicians who wish to specialize in anatomic pathology or clinical pathology (laboratory medicine), or for those who wish to pursue combined training in anatomic and clinical pathology (AP/CP).

Exceptional opportunities for basic, clinical and translational research are available for graduate students. Graduate students can pursue research with any academic staff of the Department, and interdepartmental interactions are encouraged. Residents in anatomic pathology and laboratory medicine pursue basic or applied research as a major component of their training.
