The Pathology Residency Training Program
at UCI is a fully integrated program with three affiliated institutions:
University of California Irvine, Medical Center (UCIMC), Veterans
Affairs Medical Center, Long Beach (VAMCLB) and Long Beach Memorial
Medical Center (LBMMC). The program offers excellent opportunities
for training, teaching and research in both anatomic and clinical
pathology. Elective rotations for medical students are available
year round. In addition, fellowships are offered in cytology
and surgical pathology.
The primary goal of the Pathology Residency Training
Program is to prepare pathologists-in-training either for high-quality
community hospital practice or for careers in forensic or academic
pathology. As such, it is a fundamental tenet that residents are
here for the purpose of training and education. The execution of
service responsibilities is an integral part of such training,
and each resident is given graduated responsibilities according
to his/her progress
and capabilities. At every level, adequate
supervision by competent faculty is provided.
Since one of the principal objectives of a school of medicine is to add to the existing body of knowledge, trainees are strongly encouraged to participate in any of a variety of ongoing research activities. Pathology differs from other medical specialties in that it has developed largely as the result of research, the primary intent of which has been to explore the structural and molecular bases of human disease. Exposure to research, therefore, continues to form an integral part of professional training in the field of pathology.
