University of Illinois College of Medicine at Chicago Program
About This Program
We believe that pathologists-in-training should be exposed to a variety of practice sites, including academic-research and community-based settings. In this way, graduates from our program who pursue careers in academic pathology understand the practice of pathology by colleagues in community settings, and graduates who eventually practice pathology in community hospitals understand how an academic medical center functions.
