Overview

The Pathology Residency Training Program at Jackson Memorial Hospital/ University of Miami Miller School of Medicine is a fully-accredited four-year program that integrates anatomic pathology and clinical pathology rotations under the supervision of over 30 full-time teaching faculty. 

The Anatomic Pathology Resident Training includes rotations in autopsy pathology, surgical pathology, cytopathology forensic pathology, transplant and immunopathology.  We have a subspeciality surgical pathology practice. Consequently, residents enjoy specific rotations on surgical pathology of specific organ systems including breast, endocrine, GYN, GI, GU, head and neck and liver/pancreas. The Clinical Pathology Resident Training Program includes rotations in clinical chemistry, cytogenetics, hematology/flow cytometry, hematopathology, medical microbiology, coagulation, and blood banking/transfusion medicine. Included in these rotations are experiences in special techniques such as flow cytometry, histology and rapid tissue processing, molecular biology, laboratory management and medical informatics. Elective rotations include blood-banking, dermatopathology, laboratory management of private pathology practice, neuropathology, pediatric pathology and special coagulation. 

The educational experience also includes formal didactic sessions, problem-based microscopic conferences, resident-presented cases conferences and journal clubs and tumor boards. Well-developed, HIPPA-compliant hospital computer programs provide ready access to patient imaging studies and laboratory results to further facilitate clinico-pathological correlations and pathological interpretations.

The Pathology Residency Training Program is approved for twenty-two (22) resident positions by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and fulfills the requirements of the American Board of Pathology (Program Number: 3001121075). Resident funding has increased during the past three years. As a result, we have 20 full-time residents, and four fellows in the 2009-2010 training year.

ACGME-accredited one-year fellowships include:

 Cytopathology Fellowships
 Hematopathology Fellowship
 Pediatric Pathology Fellowship
 Blood Banking/Transfusion Medicine Fellowship
