The Department of Pathology at the State University of New York at Buffalo, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, presently offers programs which are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology (AP/CP, four years), Anatomic Pathology (AP, three years) or Clinical Pathology (CP, three years). Residents in our program receive training allowing them to either do general pathology or to follow a more academic track through additional fellowship and/or research experience. The program in AP is centered at the Buffalo General Medical Center-Oishei Children’s Hospital – Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center complex, with rotations of varying duration through other affiliated hospitals for additional specialty experiences. A didactic core lecture series is held weekly. In the first year, training in AP is emphasized along with an introduction to basic CP. Concentration in CP occurs during the second and third years with rotations in chemistry, microbiology, hematology, and blood banking. More advanced training includes parasitology, virology, toxicology, medical informatics, digital pathology, image analysis, and molecular diagnostics. Research opportunities are readily available.
