Rutgers Health/Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center Program
About This Program
Our mission is to train pathologists to be proficient, self-reliantly-practicing pathologists in all areas of pathology (both anatomic and clinical). We aim to give our residents the foundation to pursue further specialization in any areas of pathology if they choose to, and provide the support needed so they can competitively secure a fellowship-training program or a job opportunity.
