Our program includes rotations at hospitals within the Mount Sinai Health System and a series of comprehensive lectures covering the essential aspects of anatomic, clinical, and molecular pathology.
Rotations at multiple hospitals inside and outside of the Mount Sinai Health System with widely varied material are provided to ensure adequate exposure of the residents to the latest advancements in pathology. The hospitals include: Mount Sinai Health System hospitals, the James J. Peters VA Medical Center (VAMC), a general hospital; and a rotation with the New York City Medical Examiner's Office ensures exposure to forensic pathology.
Residents are encouraged to function as clinical consultants through a program of graded responsibility over the four years. Anatomic and clinical rotations are integrated to provide continuous training (core 18 months anatomic pathology, 18 months clinical pathology in the AP/CP track, with 12 months of additional training in anatomic or clinical pathology, up to 6 months of which can be used for full-time research).
Each resident is assigned a faculty advisor at the beginning of the residency. Faculty advisors foster a close relationship between faculty and residents, and are available to discuss evaluations, career planning, and research projects.
