Residency Training

• Clinical Pathology
• Anatomic Pathology
• Combined Anatomic Pathology/Clinical Pathology

A variety of extended and hybrid training options are also available. For example, those interested in a Clinical Pathology physician-scientist career may individualize a program of clinical training and basic research, the latter in the laboratory of a Yale mentor. The mentor may be selected from faculty in the Department of Laboratory Medicine or from faculty in many of the other Departments at the School of Medicine. In the past few years, residents have worked with mentors in Genetics, Immunobiology, Bioengineering, Cell Biology, Pharmacology, Internal Medicine and the Neurosciences as well as Laboratory Medicine and Pathology. It is also possible for research-oriented individuals with MD degrees to enter a special Yale program that results in a PhD in Investigative Medicine.

A program combining CP residency training with fellowship training in hematopathology, transfusion medicine, microbiology, genetics, or medical informatics is another common extended training approach. Finally, a few of our recent residents have been interested in innovative hybrid career options such as combining CP training with the law or with further training in management for eventual careers in combining administration with clinical work and/or consultation in healthcare or biotechnology.
