Message from our Chief Residents

Pathology & Laboratory Medicine
Dear Future Pathology Residents,

Thank you for considering the University of Miami/Jackson Health System pathology residency program. We are an AP/CP program with 17 residents and 15 fellows, offering both AP and CP pathways to cater to individual interests.

Our program provides a comprehensive training experience, led by dedicated pathology faculty members, including some who are world-renowned experts in their fields. Daily specialty-based sign-outs allow residents to focus and excel in their chosen subspecialties.

Residents rotate at three hospitals—University of Miami Hospital, Jackson Memorial Hospital, and Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center, Miami—serving over 2,300 inpatients and handling 80,000 specimens annually. This high volume and diversity of cases provide an excellent platform for improving diagnostic skills and building confidence. Experienced pathology assistants support residents in developing grossing skills and handling complex specimens.

Residents have dedicated learning time, participating in engaging unknown case conferences, AP/CP rounds, and AP gross conferences, either virtual or in person. Additionally, interesting cases scope sessions are offered daily, providing continuous exposure to various subspecialties. Residents also have six months of elective time for further exposure in their area of interest and off-campus rotations. Our program graduates have successfully secured fellowships at leading institutions, with many alumni serving as faculty members at various premier institutes.

Excellent research opportunities, including resources, financial assistance, and faculty mentorship, are available to residents. Our residents consistently publish articles and present them at state and national levels.

Located in vibrant Miami, which offers year-round sunshine and convenient access to various attractions, providing ample opportunities for relaxation and leisure.
