Surgical Pathology

The surgical pathology rotation at West Virginia University is designed to instruct trainees in surgical pathology in a tertiary care-academic setting and a large academic-affiliated community hospital. As they evaluate patient specimens, the physicians-in-training are instructed in the gross evaluation, microscopic evaluation, and ancillary studies of surgical pathology specimens. By providing residents with increasing responsibilities and duties, as their level of training increases, the teaching faculty hopes to instill the skills and tools necessary to develop a life-long course of continued professional development. In addition to the apprentice-type training, residents attend and participate in the weekly Systemic Pathology Conference and the monthly Anatomic Pathology Unknown Conference.
