Laboratory Directorship

One goal of the training of residents is to incorporate increasing levels of graduated responsibility throughout all aspects of the training program. In clinical pathology a significant component is that the fourth year requires a 1-2-month rotation of a Laboratory Directorship. In this role the senior resident will synthesize and apply knowledge acquired from all areas of clinical, practical, and management throughout their training. During this rotation the senior resident will make independent management, clinical, and consultative decisions on a daily basis throughout every clinical pathology area. This effort will be integrated in a fashion so that faculty and senior managers will be available to counsel the senior resident. The senior resident will also be expected to mentor the junior residents rotating in specific clinical pathology areas.
