Applicants need three letters of recommendation and must go through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) for appointments. The program provides a robust curriculum covering all major areas of anatomic and clinical pathology through various rotations, including organ-system-based cores, intraoperative consultation, autopsy, cytology, and clinical pathology disciplines. Residents can also engage in elective rotations and research training. The program offers opportunities for awards and presentations at national meetings. Residents will need to take weekend call for autopsy rotations in AP, while CP rotations involve various types of call. The program has conferences, journal clubs, and a Leadership and Management Course. The curriculum incorporates a Physician-Scientist Research Pathway for residents looking to engage in research. Regular evaluations and mentorship are provided to ensure residents' progress and meet program expectations. Residents can choose different pathways based on their interests, such as AP/CP, AP/NP, or being solely AP or CP focused. The program aims to provide a supportive and flexible training environment to help residents achieve their career goals.
