Anatomical pathology features an autopsy service covering 40 autopsies and a surgical pathology service with over 15,000 specimens annually. Four full-time anatomical pathologists supervise this area of training, which includes cytology and electron microscopy. Neuropathology training is an additional part of the program. 

The clinical pathology workload in blood bank, hematology, immunology, microbiology and chemistry exceeds two million tests yearly. Training is supervised by three clinical pathologists, assisted by two Ph.D. level clinical scientists. 

The first two years of training are devoted to anatomical pathology. Autopsy and surgical pathology training is integrated. Autopsies are performed under the supervision of a staff pathologist. A forensic pathology rotation is included in the 2nd year. Cytology, electron microscopy and neuropathology training is continuous throughout the two years. 

The resident spends the third and fourth years rotating through the various sections of the clinical laboratories, the major areas of which are chemistry, hematology, microbiology, immunology and blood bank. In addition, there are periods of training in nuclear medicine and cytogenetics. Further anatomical pathology exposure is gained during these two years by optional attendance at two or more daily teaching conferences. The resident may choose to devote the fourth year to subspecialization of one area of clinical pathology in place of the rotating plan.

Integrated into the daily activities is a comprehensive program of intradepartmental teaching conferences. A surgical pathology signout meeting is held daily. Anatomical pathology, clinical pathology and journal review conferences are held regularly. Residents participate in these sessions and assist in the teaching of house staff and medical students. Interdepartmental conferences provide additional learning experiences. Research activities are conducted by various members of the department in accordance with their interests and resident participation is encouraged.
