Welcome from the Chair
Welcome to the site for the University of Florida Department of Pathology Jacksonville. We have established a unique infrastructure for those interested in the discipline of pathology in which individuals can become fully trained in the field and, upon completing training, have the ability to function as an active member of any medical team.
Our department prides itself for maintaining one of the most progressive pathology departments in the U.S. For this reason, it is our responsibility to make a lasting impact on the future of pathology through education.
We have two ACGME-accredited programs - an anatomical and clinical pathology residency program and a cytopathology fellowship program. In addition, the department sponsors the Shands Jacksonville School of Medical Technology and provides special diagnostic and prognostic testing at the medical center's Tumor Analysis Laboratory. We also foster breast health education through partnerships with Shands Jacksonville's Breast Health Center, The Breast Journal and an Annual Multidisciplinary Symposium on Breast Disease.
All of these distinguishing elements allow us the unique opportunity to provide our students, residents and fellows an integrated approach to all aspects of pathology, with emphasis on integrated patient care, education and research.
