Welcome from the Pathology Co-Chief Residents
As chief residents for this academic year, we are excited to introduce you to our program.
Our program offers fantastic opportunities in all aspects of anatomic and clinical pathology education and practice. As the major academic and referral medical center for Nebraska, we average over 60,000 surgical specimens per year from all organ systems. The practice of surgical pathology involves grossing, intraoperative diagnoses (in-house and by digital pathology at affiliated medical facilities), and subspecialty sign-out. We are a major center for solid organ and bone marrow transplants, and benefit from regularly performed donor organ assessment and post-transplant biopsies.
We host one of the largest lymphoma study groups in the country and participate in the diagnosis of a robust volume of hematolymphoid malignancies. Our hospital autopsy service is very active with an average of 150 medical autopsies per year. Recently, the department has significantly invested in digital pathology/informatics, and residents are involved in diagnosis, educational and tumor board presentations via digitally scanned slides.
