Training Programs in Pathology
Residency -
The Emory University Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is one of the largest training centers for pathologists in the United States, and is under the co-directorship of Drs. Daniel Brat and Shobha Sharma. The patient population, faculty interests, and physical resources of the Emory health care system offer training for residents with a wide range of career goals, including diagnostic pathology, research in pathobiology, and teaching. Emory's full-time pathology faculty:resident ratio is about 2:1.
A general track, including four years of combined AP and CP training, prepares pathologists for practice in either an academic or private setting.
A program in anatomic pathology, with intensive training in specific areas, is available for those who desire a career in an academic setting including research, teaching, and diagnostic activities. A fully established program in clinical pathology also is offered with emphasis on research leading to an academic career. Further training for those residents interested in research careers can be supported by the Department.
Regardless of the type of training, the faculty is dedicated to the promotion of confidence in one's abilities through graded responsibilities and increasing independent activities, as well as to the achievement of knowledge. To apply...
