The Department of Pathology at Duke University offers a wide array of training programs to fit individual requirements and goals.

The Residency Training program is an ACGME approved program and is available as either an Anatomic Pathology/Clinical Pathology combined program, a shorter Anatomic Pathology only program, or an Anatomic Pathology/Neuropathology program. Subspecialty fellowships in Cytopathology, Dermatopathology, Hematopathology, Medical Microbiology, and Neuropathology are also ACGME approved. These programs provide the highest quality of graduate medical education by drawing on the depth and breadth of faculty expertise in the Department in all aspects of anatomic and clinical pathology and the availability of a wide variety of often complex clinical cases seen at Duke University Health System.

For medical students interested in a career in Pathology predoctoral fellowships, internships and externships are available.

Research Training in Experimental pathology can be obtained through Pre- and postdoctoral fellowships of one to five years. All predoctoral fellows are candidates for the Ph.D. degree in pathology. The Ph.D. is optional in postdoctoral programs, which provide didactic and research training in various aspects of modern experimental pathology.

A two-year Pathologists Assistant program of the Department gives access to exciting career opportunities after college. The program was pioneered in the Department more than 20 years ago and has since provided a model for this highly desirable career training throughout the nation.
