Medical College of Wisconsin Pathology & Laboratory Medicine Residency Program

The MCW Pathology Residency Program is a four-year, combined Anatomic and Clinical Pathology Program, accepting 4 residents per academic year. The program is well rounded and balanced, with a strong and pervasive focus on resident education. The goal is to provide comprehensive training in the practice of pathology and laboratory medicine and train young physicians for excellence in either academic or community practice.

A message from our Residency Program Director
Clinical Staff 2F 2M

The Medical College of Wisconsin Affiliated Hospitals (MCWAH) and other associated training facilities provide a diversity of practice settings, faculty skills and interests, patient populations, and specimen types to allow for both well-rounded general training and establishment of subspecialty expertise.

The training program explicitly seeks an appropriate balance between service obligations and educational opportunities. By design, no single service is dependent on the presence of residents to function, but when residents are present on a service they are expected to take ownership of patient case material and function as integral members of the health care delivery team. The approach to pathology practice that is stressed and modeled is one of pathologist as clinical consultant, as a critical member of the clinical team. This role is encouraged by the subspecialty surgical pathology signout system and a robust, structured CP curriculum that stresses clinical consultation.

The environment that is fostered is one of collegiality, teamwork, patient centricity, academic inquiry, and continuous quality improvement. The Pathology Training Program seeks to provide training that allows graduates to be highly competitive for fellowship programs and be prepared to enter either community-based or academic practice, with a target of roughly equal placement of our trainees in each of these two practice settings.
