Anatomic Pathology Required rotations in anatomic pathology include six months of autopsy pathology divided equally between the University Hospital and the VAMC, six months of surgical pathology divided between the University Hospital and LDS or St. Mark's Hospital, two months of pediatric pathology at PCMC, one month of forensic pathology at the Utah State Medical Examiner's Office, and three months of cytology. Elective rotations are available in surgical pathology, neuropathology, renal pathology, and ophthalamic pathology. In addition to a strong surgical pathology and autopsy pathology program, residents receive exceptional training in cytology. The faculty are well recognized experts in their fields, dedicated to resident teaching, and draw consultation material from around the United States. Through these rotations, residents are exposed to a broad range of laboratory testing and are taught the basic principles, methodology, and instrumentation of modern laboratory medicine.
Strong emphasis is placed on involving the residents in quality assurance and quality control.
Many opportunities are available for clincal laboratory research.
