Didactics

Our educational conferences offer a dynamic and engaging mix of didactic lectures and interactive learning platforms designed to support residents at every stage of training. Residents are provided with protected time for education through structured monthly didactic sessions covering the core Anatomic Pathology (AP) and Clinical Pathology (CP) curriculum, primarily led by dedicated faculty. Resident presentation and communication skills are further developed through regular opportunities to present, including Journal Club, AP and CP Conferences. Didactic content includes both foundational principles and advanced topics and follows a repeating two-year cycle, ensuring that over four years, residents experience the full curriculum twice and can revisit key concepts with increasing depth and clinical perspective.

In addition to the core didactic series, residents participate in a robust schedule of regularly held conferences that enhance clinical reasoning and interdisciplinary collaboration. These include intradepartmental and autopsy conferences, forensic pathology lectures in collaboration with the Medical Examiner’s Office, multidisciplinary Tumor Boards, and the Hematopathology Education Conference. Collectively, these offerings create a stimulating, well-rounded educational environment that promotes professional development, collaboration, and lifelong learning.
