    Collectively, institutions access over 70,000 surgical specimens, over 150,000 cytology specimens, over eight million clinical laboratory determinations and over 700 autopsies each year. This, combined with individual faculty member consultation case material, gives our residents the widest possible exposure to pathology material.


     During the four-year Residency, residents rotate through several institutions including Kaiser Permanente, The Queen's Medical Center and Hawaii Medical Center.  Specialty training is conducted at Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children, the Medical Examiner's Office, Queen's Medical Center Genetics Laboratories and Tripler Medical Center.  


     Our graduates have done very well in passing the examinations in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology given by the American Board of Pathology, with nearly all passing on the first attempt.  All of our recent graduates found jobs by the time they graduated.
