With over 25 areas of subspecialty and over 100 years of success, our JCAHO accredited, CLIA and NYSDOH licensed and CAP certified Anatomic Pathology laboratories process over 50,000 surgical cases and 64,000 cytology cases annually. We process samples from NY Presbyterian Hospital as well as from private doctors’ offices and other referring hospitals nationally and internationally. Our faculty members are board certified, actively engaged in research and committed to teaching in the College of Physicians & Surgeons, within our own residency training program and throughout the Columbia University Medical Center.
The Laboratory Medicine Program is dedicated to serving physicians and their patients, by providing a more intimate relationship between clinical diagnostic testing and the physician’s office. The laboratories are fully accredited by the JCAHO, CAP, CLIA and NYSDOH, the American Society for Histocompatibility (ASHI), and the American Association of Blood Banks (Transfusion Medicine Services). Each laboratory section is directed by a board-certified pathologist or doctoral scientist. We meet or exceed the requirements of these organizations for all of the tests which we perform.
Molecular Pathology is an increasing part of the Department's efforts. To provide the best services in molecular diagnostics, the department has recruited new faculty, constructed new lab spaces and made major investments in technology. A new fellowship program allows us to train the investigators and diagnosticians of the future. As seen in this section, an increasing number of genetic conditions can be diagnosed in our laboratories. Our research efforts are directed at providing treatments for these conditions.
The Division of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine combines Anatomic Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. We are committed to providing superior testing and customer service. Our staff is ready to assist you with your billing questions, test ordering, supply requests, result reporting, specimen transport needs, or any other questions you may have about our services.
