Residency Programs

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

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

We offer a track program in which individuals may choose Anatomic Pathology only (AP), Anatomic and Clinical Pathology (AP/CP), Anatomic Pathology and Research (AP/R), or Anatomic and Neuropathology (AP/NP). The 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.

Residents are strongly encouraged to participate in investigative projects and present their work at scientific meetings.
