Saint
Vincent Catholic Medical Centers
Residency in Pathology
Chairman:
John F. Gillooley, M.D.
Overview
The four-year
residency program in anatomic and clinical pathology has eight fully
approved positions available. The program is supervised by a staff
of full time board certified pathologists. Anatomic pathology and
all routine clinical pathology diagnostic services are grouped within
the department of laboratories, allowing an integrated comprehensive
training program.
Curriculum
The first two
years of residency are devoted to anatomic pathology. There are
over 12,000 surgical specimens annually, covering a wide range of
diseases and approximately 100 autopsies. Autopsy and surgical pathology
are integrated under close supervision of staff pathologists. Forensic
pathology is included in the 2nd year. Sub-specialty training in
cytology, electron microscopy and neuropathology is continuous throughout
the two years.
The resident
spends his/her third and fourth years rotating through the various
sections of the clinical laboratories, the major areas of which
are chemistry, hematology, microbiology, immunology and transfusion
medicine. More than 2 million tests are performed annually in these
laboratories. In addition there is training in nuclear medicine
and cytogenetics. Further anatomic pathology experience is gained
during these two years by attendance at daily teaching conferences.
The resident who demonstrates competence in his/her rotation through
the clinical laboratories may choose to devote the fourth year to
subspecialization in one area of clinical pathology.
Resources
Integrated into the daily activities is a comprehensive program
of intradepartmental teaching conferences. A surgical pathology
signout meeting is held daily. Anatomic pathology, clinical pathology
and journal review conferences are held regularly. Residents participate
in these sessions and assist in teaching house staff and medical
students. Interdepartmental conferences provide additional learning
experiences. Research activities are conducted by various members
of the department in accordance with their interests and resident
participation is encouraged.
Stipends and Maintenance
Stipends are competitive with other academic institutions. All staff
members are provided with professional liability insurance, hospitalization
and medical care, uniforms and uniform laundry.
