The Anatomic Pathology program strives to achieve for each of their residents, during the training period. Excellence to guide decisions for best patient care and management and to advance frontiers of patient care by integrating pathology with clinical specialties. The Anatomic Pathology residency training at McMaster University is a five year training program that offers an intensive and integrated approach to preparing residents for careers in academic and/or clinical practice. The program is designed to fulfill the specialty requirements of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, but is sufficiently flexible to be tailored to individual needs of each resident, which is one of the strengths of this program.
Residents are trained in autopsy pathology and all areas of surgical pathology during the first two years. Training in forensic pathology, diagnostic cytopathology, neuropathology, molecular pathology, pediatric pathology, and electron microscopy usually takes place in senior years. The Program offers a wide variety of specialty elective rotations in breast pathology, gynecologic pathology, hematopathology, bone and soft tissue pathology, hematopathology, dermatopathology, pulmonary pathology, GI pathology, head and neck pathology, endocrine pathology and renal pathology. Residents rotate through four teaching hospitals, each hospital having their own areas of sub-specialty enabling trainees to see and learn from a large and diverse volume of surgical pathology cases with varying degrees of complexity. |
