The Residency Training Program in the Department of Pathology Provides training in clinical pathology (CP), anatomic pathology (AP), and research. Clinical training encompasses either a combined AP/CP program or exclusive training in AP or CP. The combined AP/CP training program is organized in an integrative model where residents alternate between AP and CP rotations throughout their four-year program. Research training is available either exclusively as post-doctoral fellowship training or can be linked with clinical training. Resident training programs are personally designed, and formulated to meet professional goals as well as ACGME and American Board of Pathology requirements for training in specific disciplines. Our residents typically have completed medical school within five years of initiating residency training and scored above the national average for USMLE I and II.

Fellowship training is offered in many of the subspeciality areas of Pathology. We have ACGME certified programs in Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine, Cytopathology, Dermatopathology, Hematopathology, Molecular Genetic Pathology Pediatric Pathology, and Surgical Pathology. In addition, we offer additional training in the areas of Breast Pathology, Forensic Pathology, Gastrointestinal Pathology, Genitourinary Pathology, Gynecologic Pathology, Informatics, Pulmonary Pathology and Research.

We have a rich academic environment for our Residency Training Program. The University of Michigan Health System is robust and very successful, with a large network and numerous off-site clinics. This extensive network feeds into the central Medical Center complex, where pathology residents receive their training, and which sits on the edge of the Central Campus of the University of Michigan, one of the most renowned public universities in the world. We welcome your interest and hope you will consider our program seriously; any questions you might have can be sent via e-mail to: barbmcke@umich.edu or plucas@umich.edu or you can call our Residency Program Office at (734) 764-3270.
