Residency Overview
Our residency and fellowship programs operate within the McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University and are primarily based at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, consistently ranked as the top hospital in Illinois and in the top 10 nationwide.
Along with our laboratory staff, our faculty actively engage trainees in learning the essential elements of the science and practice of pathology in a setting that provides a large, diverse volume of clinical specimen types and an atmosphere of inquiry and discovery.
The three- or four-year, fully accredited residency program within the Department of Pathology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine provides physicians with the environment and skills to excel in clinical service, research and leadership roles.
