Program Outcomes

Examinations

Our residents have historically done very well on their primary licensing certification examinations. We boast a 93% first-time pass rate for the past 14 consecutive years on the combined Anatomic and Clinical American Board of Pathology licensure examination.

Fellowships

Our program graduates residents that are very strong in both anatomic and clinical pathology. Given the high volume and complexity of the caseload, there is very little that our residents are not exposed to during their training. The current trend in pathology is for residents to complete one, or sometimes more, fellowships after training. As the list below demonstrates, our residents typically procure some of the most competitive, most highly sought-after fellowships in the country.
