Residents are expected to develop knowledge, skills, and aptitudes consistent with the six ACGME General Competencies. Our faculty has broad-based and nationally recognized expertise in all major areas of pathology. They oversee a comprehensive didactic program that includes case and special topic presentations and lectures, textbook review, unknown slide conferences, and journal clubs. Anatomic Pathology rotations and exposures include training in autopsy pathology, surgical pathology, renal pathology, dermatopathology, forensic pathology, neuropathology, cytopathology, pediatric pathology, and electron microscopy. Clinical pathology includes training in transfusion medicine, molecular pathology, clinical chemistry, hematopathology, immunology, microbiology, laboratory management, and interpretive analysis of laboratory test results. Elective rotations offering opportunity for more in-depth training and/or clinical or basic research are available at advanced levels of training. Trainees are encouraged to conduct clinical or basic science research, present their work at national and regional meetings, and contribute to the scientific literature. The diverse array of clinical material is ideal for case studies and other clinical research. In addition, residents may work in basic science laboratories; investigators within the department have active research programs in infrared spectroscopic imaging and diffuse optical tomography; memory, learning and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease; cancer-related peptides and therapeutics, and immunologic aspects of asthma and HIV infection.

Applications All applicants should have USMLE Step I and Step II (CK) scores of 205 or above or COMLEX scores of 85 and above. All Step exams, including Step 2 (CS) must be passed on the first attempt. Letters of Reference and interviews are required. Applications should be received by January 15, 2013 for appointments beginning July 1, 2013. The program will consider sponsoring J-1 visas for 2013-2014. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Do You Accept International Medical Graduates to your program? Yes. Can I submit my application via email or by mail or in person? Our faculty only considers applicants whose files come to us through the ERAS system. We only review those candidates’ applications that are fully complete and ready for review. If you have not submitted all of the required documents needed through ERAS, we urge you to do so at your earliest convenience to receive full consideration in the process. Am I Required to Pass USMLE on my 1st attempt? Yes. Do we require passing Step 3 for IMGs? Not for an interview. Is there a cut-off date since Medical School Graduation year? Yes. Applicants must have graduated within the past 10 years (i.e., 2001). Do you take applicants outside the Match? We plan to fill all our positions through the Match although we may take an occasional candidate outside the Match. Is there a Pre-match option? For international medical graduates only. Do you require Interviews? Yes, we require an interview before we consider an applicant for an appointment in our program. Is there an Application Deadline? To be considered for an interview and a matched position, applicants must have all their materials completed and in our hands by January 15, 2013. We begin to review candidates on a rolling basis in early October and will complete our review no later than February 15, 2013.
