Physician Scientists Training Pathway  

In accordance with the American Board of Pathology’s (ABP) recent inclusion of the Physician-Scientist Research Pathway, the University of Michigan Pathology Residency Program welcomes applicants whose career goals match the objectives of the ABP.  This track is for physicians who are committed to contributing to new scientific knowledge in basic science, and clinical or translational medicine through a career that will involve funded research.  Trainees following this track will complete all requirements of the ABP for certification in AP, CP, AP/CP, or AP/NP.  We expect that a pathology resident in the Physician-Scientist track would complete six months of research during their core training, followed by one or two additional years of research, the latter funded through training grants that exist in the University of Michigan Department of Pathology or other sources.  Resident candidates will have the opportunity to express their interest in this track at the time of coordinating interview dates.
