Clinical training of residents includes weekly Laboratory Medicine Grand Rounds and various conferences and clinical rounds specific to individual rotations. Teaching opportunities are available during training. Residents will give a variety of case presentations, attend clinical work rounds, function as consultants to clinical housestaff, and teach medical students enrolled in Laboratory Medicine electives offered at some of the university-affiliated hospitals. At the time of acceptance into the Anatomic Pathology or Laboratory Medicine program, applicants who are planning a research career and have well defined research goals may be offered a funded year of research. In certain circumstances, this year can be spent outside the department.
Opportunities exist for all residents to participate in clinical or basic research projects.
Training opportunities are available on a competitive basis, in dermatopathology, neuropathology, surgical pathology, hematopathology, transfusion medicine, and research. This is a multidisciplinary program that accepts three or four fellows per year, for periods of up to three years. Applicants to the Pathology or Laboratory Medicine Training Program can apply for this fellowship at the time of their residency application. Marc A.
