Approximately 25,000 surgical specimens and 30,000 cytologic specimens are reviewed per year at UCLA by faculty in the various anatomic pathology divisions. There is also ample opportunity to review outside consultation specimens. UCLA additionally coordinates trainee rotations at the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office, which provides an interesting profile of forensic cases for UCLA pathology residents

The residency program provides an appropriate background in anatomic pathology and/or laboratory medicine not only for those seeking an academic career in a specialty area, but also for those seeking to enter the general practice of pathology. Residents divide service commitments between the UCSD Medical Centers (Hillcrest and La Jolla) and the San Diego Veterans Affairs Health Care System, with many opportunities to participate in the teaching program of the UCSD School of Medicine. The Department of Pathology offers four distinct training programs for residents:

• General training in combined anatomic pathology and laboratory medicine (4 years) or specialized training in one of the three divisions of pathology
• Clinical Pathology/Laboratory Medicine (3 years)
• Anatomic Pathology (3 years)
• Neuropathology (2 years after completing 2 years of Anatomic Pathology)
• Research-Residency Option

All of these programs meet the American Board of Pathology training requirements for certification. 

Training is offered in anatomic pathology (AP), clinical pathology (CP), combined AP/CP, and combined AP/NP (anatomic pathology and neuropathology). Training is provided through a combination of clinical activities, didactic lectures, and teaching conferences. Residents in the combined training program receive two years of training in anatomic pathology and two years of training in clinical pathology. Although the minimum current requirement for AP/CP Board certification is eighteen months of general anatomic pathology and clinical pathology (plus one additional year), our program traditionally provides training in blocks of one year, with the opportunity, usually, to switch between anatomic pathology and clinical pathology at the end of each academic year.

The scientific basis for the practice of medicine is found in the medical specialty of Pathology. Giving up the stethoscope, reflex hammer and other tools used by clinicians, the pathologist uses tools in laboratory medicine to develop insight into patient problems. Pathologists typically practice in hospital and clinical laboratory settings and are consultants to clinicians in a multitude of different specialties. Most clinicians use the laboratory in one fashion or another including laboratory medicine dealing with evaluation of body fluids like blood and cerebrospinal fluid and as well as anatomic pathology dealing with gross and microscopic assessments of cells and tissues removed at biopsy, surgery and autopsy or through scrapings or aspirations.The pathologist is involved not only with patient care but also clinical research and medical education for undergraduates, graduates, physicians and the public. The autopsy provides an unusual opportunity to recognize natural and unnatural human conditions and to evaluate treatment protocols for various diseases. Ultimate quality control for medicine is obtained from the autopsy. Unfortunately, the latter are dwindling. At the University of Louisville Hospital the autopsy rate approaches 40 percent, yet most are done at our affiliated Medical Examiners Office since UofL Hospital is a major trauma center. Health professionals, law enforcement personnel, coroners and society in general interact with clinical pathology in areas such as hematology, clinical chemistry, microbiology, transfusion medicine, flow cytometry, molecular pathology and immunopathology. Molecular techniques are used to understand, confirm and treat many diseases more frequently now and are routinely relied upon in medical research. 

The Department of Pathology currently offers programs in anatomic pathology approved by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and the American Board of Pathology. Residents select the program that will equip them for their career goals, usually either the hospital practice of pathology, with special competence in one or more of the branches of anatomic pathology, or an academic career including teaching and research. The faculty members have a wide variety of subspecialty interests and experience, and they are actively involved in all aspects of the training program. In addition to the main divisions of anatomic pathology, which are organized as an Autopsy Teaching Unit and Surgical Pathology Service, the Department includes specialty units with expertise in cytology, electron microscopy, neuropathology and forensic science. Training is offered in these areas at both the general and advanced level. Opportunity to gain expertise in other branches of pathology is afforded by elective periods in the Microbiology, Clinical Chemistry, and Hematology Laboratories, and also experience in the Clinical Units of the Faculty of Medicine. The training of research pathologists and medical scientists is an important concern. Residents may spend an extended period in full-time research and/or basic medical science.
