University of Louisville School of Medicine Program

The University of Louisville School of Medicine offers a 4-year combined anatomic and clinical pathology residency program. The program aims to provide trainees with a supportive learning environment to prepare them for a successful career in pathology. Residents have access to a diverse case load from four downtown Louisville hospitals, including University of Louisville Hospital, Norton Hospital, Norton Children’s Hospital, and Jewish Hospital. The program consists of 12 residents, with 3 residents per PGY level. Graduates from the program have pursued fellowships in AP and CP at academic centers and have entered academic or private practice settings.

The anatomic pathology rotation includes various subspecialties such as Surgical Pathology, Cytopathology, Forensics, Neuropathology, Dermatopathology, Pediatric Pathology, and more. On the other hand, the clinical pathology rotation includes rotations in areas like Hematopathology, Clinical Chemistry, Microbiology, Transfusion Medicine/Blood Banking, Molecular Pathology, Coagulation, and Lab Management, among others. There are opportunities for elective rotations and hands-on experience in different aspects of pathology.

Residents are supported by a team including the Program Coordinator, Assistant Program Coordinator, Program Director, and Clinical Pathology Associate Program Director.
