Research

The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine is both a clinical and basic science department, providing an optimal perspective for true translational research that bridges patient care with biomedical research. Our department engages in cutting-edge research with the goal of improving patient care.

Education

Fellowships

Our thirteen highly competitive fellowships provide subspecialty training and opportunities to conduct and present research. Fellows teach residents, attend and present at multidisciplinary tumor board conferences, and interact daily with attending physicians on both in-house cases and challenging cases referred to us for expert opinion.

Residency Program

We tailor to each resident's career goals and prepare them for Board certification in anatomic or clinical pathology, or a combination of the two. Residents learn the diagnostic criteria for diseases and the clinical implications of each diagnosis. Residents can conduct and present research and teach medical students during their final years.

Physician Scientist Training Program

This program is committed to training the next generation of physician scientist leaders in Clinical Pathology and Anatomic Pathology. The program provides support and mentorship through the clinical and postdoctoral training years to prepare trainees for highly competitive tenure track academic positions as an independent physician scientist.

Medical Student Education

Students learn about the pathophysiology of disease through faculty lectures and small group tutorials in a case-based approach during their second year. Later, students may choose an elective rotation to observe the daily activities of pathologists. Students shadow residents, fellows, and faculty and participating in sign-outs and conferences.

Patient Care

Our pathologists are board-certified experts, providing patients with accurate and comprehensive diagnosis fundamental to effective treatment. Because they see a large volume of diverse cases, patients know we have the knowledge and experience to provide excellent care. We often provide patients with a second opinion after a primary diagnosis.

Career Opportunities

Our department is an excellent place to launch or grow your career. Located in New York City, our pathologists are afforded the opportunity to explore a range of cases, from routine to extremely rare diseases and conditions, that better prepare them for an exciting career and to provide outstanding care for our patients.

Ways to Give

Your contribution helps bolster our efforts to improve the care of patients and expand our knowledge of how diseases develop and progress. You can support a specific program, area of study, or honor an individual physician or researcher. Unrestricted gifts expand our programs, and help purchase the latest, most sophisticated equipment.
