We have faculty in most subspecialty areas of pathology including Blood Banking/Transfusion Medicine, Chemical Pathology, Cytopathology, Dermatopathology, Forensic Pathology, Hematopathology, Medical Microbiology, Molecular Genetic Pathology, Neuropathology, and Perinatal Pathology.

Our residents also learn from experts during rotations at Ackerman Academy of Dermatopathology, the Brooklyn Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, and Columbia University Medical Center (for Molecular Pathology and Cytogenetics). Elective rotations offering opportunity for more in-depth training and/or clinical or basic research are available. 

We have a highly organized didactic curriculum which includes a mix of active learning sessions, unknown slides, faculty lectures and resident presentations. A regular scheduling of guest and voluntary faculty speakers creates an even richer learning environment. Resident participation in regional and national pathology meetings is financially supported for the presentation of original scholarship. The diverse array of clinical material is ideal for case studies and clinical research. In addition, residents may work in basic science laboratories. Investigators within the department have active research programs in infrared spectroscopic imaging and diffuse optical tomography; memory, learning and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease; cancer-related peptides and therapeutics; and immunologic aspects of asthma and HIV infection.
