Opportunities to teach medical and allied health students are available, as are research opportunities. The program emphasizes close resident-faculty interaction, with faculty providing guidance but allowing residents an opportunity to progressively assume responsibility for pathology service. Opportunities exist in the areas of biotechnology, cardiovascular pathology, informatics, laboratory automation, immunopathology, transplantation, clinical chemistry, viral and chemical oncogenesis, metabolic diseases, molecular biology, coagulation and hematopathology. The department supports several postdoctoral research fellows and Ph.D. students. In addition to standard house officer benefits, the department of pathology and microbiology provides subscriptions to Science and the New England Journal of Medicine, membership dues for state and national pathology societies and funds for travel to professional meetings.
Residents have four weeks paid vacation annually.
September through January prior to appointment. Appointments usually begin July 1 through the National Match Resident Program. However, special situations may be accommodated.
