Academic Programs
The Department of Pathology is committed to the academic mission of the University of Washington and UW Medicine by providing comprehensive and innovative educational opportunities to developing medical practitioners and bioclinical researchers.
Graduate Program
The Experimental and Molecular Pathology graduate program leads to a doctoral degree in disease and disease mechanism-focused research. The department faculty members also participate in the interdepartmental Molecular and Cell Biology graduate program.
Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP)
The program trains scientists to develop a broad knowledge in medicine and the ability to productively investigate detailed mechanisms associated with human diseases. The MSTP is supported primarily by a grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences.

Faculty members instruct medical students in molecular and cellular basis of disease, systemic, multidisciplinary approaches to disease, and the role of autopsy in the diagnosis of disease. Third and fourth year students have an opportunity to experience pathology in the clinical setting with a variety of elective clerkship rotations.
 | Residency Program The UW Pathology Residency Program provides ACGME-accredited training in the anatomic and clinical pathology diagnosis of disease. The program is an interdepartmental collaboration between the Department of Pathology and the Department of Laboratory Medicine. Clinical Fellowships Program Beyond residency, the department offers a variety of subspecialty clinical fellowship programs focusing on in depth training in the major body systems. Clinical fellowships are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) |
Research Fellowship Programs
Visiting Trainee Programs
Fellowships in basic bench research are available for continued study and are arranged with individual faculty members based on their areas of research study.
Visiting Trainee Programs
The department expands its academic outreach by offering opportunities for MEDEX Northwest physician assistant students, medical students, residents and clinical fellows, and research scholar to develop elective training rotations within our existing programs.
