We offer combined, integrated training in anatomic and clinical pathology. The goal of our pathology resident program is to provide flexible training experiences that will prepare pathologists for successful careers in academic pathology or community practice.
Our pathology residency program is a vibrant part of the department and our residents play a key role in patient care, education, and research. Our strengths range from diagnostic surgical pathology and subspecialty training, to technologically advanced computerized clinical laboratories and molecular pathology at the modern Tulane University Hospital. Our teaching faculty provide many opportunities for individual training across a wide range of areas of pathology, centralized on a health sciences center campus in the heart of a vibrant metropolitan community. We strive for excellence and balance between diagnostic and investigative pathology. Our goal is to prepare pathologists for the challenges of a lifetime of professional growth. Residents are accepted into the pathology program each year through the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP). Our graduates successfully obtain quality fellowships and you should expect these opportunities to be available should you complete residency training with us.
