The Department of Pathology at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio offers a complete residency training program with a variety of options to be chosen by the trainee. Training is available for individuals wishing to pursue a 4-year combined AP/CP program, or a 3-year straight anatomic or clinical pathology program. Rotations are divided among University Hospital and Audie Murphy Veterans Affairs Hospital, with advanced specialty training available at Santa Rosa Medical Center and Children's Hospital. Anatomic pathology rotations include surgical pathology, cytology, and autopsy with advanced training in electron microsocopy, immunocytochemistry, renal biopsy, neuropathology, and aspiration biopsy techniques. Clinical pathology rotations include hematology, blood banking, clinical chemistry, and microbiology with advanced training in hematology, molecular diagnosis, coagulation, apheresis, cytogenetics, and special mycology techniques. Besides the usual duties expected of each rotation, residents prepare and participate in formal and informal presentations for departmental and interdepartmental conferences, journal clubs, and research conferences. Residents participate in medical student teaching for second- and fourth-year students and monthly city-wide pathology conferences. The program encourages participation in ongoing clinical and basic research projects and provides support for residency research experiences.
