The Pathology Residency Program at NorthShore-Endeavor Health offers a well-rounded program with thorough training in anatomic and clinical pathology. We pride ourselves on promoting a friendly environment conducive to learning. Our abundance of interesting surgical cases, accessible faculty members with “open-door” policies, and plentiful resources for translational and basic research are a few of the many reasons to train here. The department is conveniently centralized in one location, and residents are provided individual office space with personal computers and microscopes to optimize the education experience. Additionally, trainees have opportunities to attend national meetings.
