The department is proud of its long history of training men and women for careers in the clinical practice of anatomic and clinical pathology and for leadership roles in research and teaching in academic pathology. We offer outstanding fellowship training in neuropathology, hematopathology, surgical pathology, molecular pathology, and gastrointestinal/liver pathology.
Undergraduate Medical Education (UME) is provided by a faculty whose commitments also include clinical care and research. Our staff coordinate the first and second year course materials for Gross Anatomy, Histology, Cell Biology, Human Development, and Pathophysiology I and II as well as fourth-year Medical school electives.
The department is home to the Graduate Program in Pathobiology and Molecular Medicine, which is one of the Doctoral Programs in Mechanisms of Health and Disease. Students in this program will receive a rigorous education in cell and molecular biology in the context of human diseases. The department is also associated with the Graduate Program in Cell Biology, an interdepartmental Ph.D. program that offers students outstanding training in cell biology carried out at the highest levels.
