A department's success ultimately is judged by the quality of the trainees it produces. Our goal is to train the
next generation of academic pathologists and scientists. Northwestern is an environment in which teaching medical
students, graduate students, residents, and fellows is not only expected, it is valued and rewarded.
Our residency training program is growing in size to allow more flexibility for research and clinical electives. Newly
revised AP and CP curricula ensure that our residents have the latest information in all aspects of pathology. Our
expanding Physician Scientist Training Program provides an opportunity for qualified residents to spend two or more years
pursuing laboratory research. The individualized mentored program includes residency training in AP and/or CP, full-time
research, and fellowship training.
Northwestern now has fellowship programs in general surgical pathology and five subspecialty areas and we are planning
fellowships in GI/liver pathology and CP disciplines.
We are confident that with our emphasis on academic excellence, our tradition of outstanding clinical service, and our
interactive faculty of dedicated, compassionate, and talented physicians and scientists that Northwestern's Department of
Pathology will continue to grow in stature and excellence.
