Residency Programs

Our pathology residency program is based at closely adjacent Bellevue, Tisch and Manhattan Veterans Hospitals staffed by NYU faculty. The NYU pathology residency program provides a broad and diversified curriculum to meet the ever-growing needs of contemporary residency education in pathology and is designed to satisfy the varied interests of the trainees in anatomic and clinical pathology.

We offer residency training track programs in which individuals may choose a residency in Anatomic Pathology only (AP), Anatomic Pathology and Clinical Pathology (AP/CP), Anatomic Pathology and Research (AP/R), or Anatomic Pathology and Neuropathology (AP/NP). The pathology residency program training includes hands-on experience and responsibility in diagnostic surgical pathology and autopsy pathology, laboratory research, student teaching and progressive supervisory responsibilities up to the level of Junior Attending. Pathology residents are strongly encouraged to participate in investigative projects and present their work at scientific meetings.

The long-standing goal of the Department of Pathology at New York University Medical Center to provide pathology training for careers in academic pathology was established in the 1950s by Dr. Lewis Thomas, then Chairman of the Department. Pathology residents from that and subsequent eras now chair or direct departments in medical centers throughout the country.
