LSUHSC-NO-Pathology Details
At Louisiana State University School of Medicine Department of Pathology, we recognize that exciting new techniques in disease identification and diagnosis are constantly evolving with breakthroughs in technology and genomics that lead to better patient care. We are trying to be part of that process with our CAP-accredited laboratory that boasts one of the most extensive automated lines for robotic handling and analysis of medical specimens in the country. Our laboratory and teaching facilities are part of the new, state-of-the-art, 400-plus-bed hospital, University Medical Center (UMC-NO), which opened in 2015, post Hurricane Katrina. Our residency program is and has been fully accredited in both anatomic and clinical pathology for more than 60 years. It now is approved for up to 12 residents. Our residents join our dedicated team of physicians and laboratory scientists to support to clinical physicians in other services. Our goal is to provide our residents with hands-on experience in both anatomic and clinical pathology, so they are confident and experienced to begin a specialized fellowship or enter clinical practice at the end of their four-year residency. We intend to prepare LSU School of Medicine's 700 medical students with the knowledge of pathology necessary to understand the mechanisms of disease, the basis for clinical practice. The practice of pathology is changing, and LSU is helping lead that change. We invite you to browse our website to learn more. If you are interested in any of our programs, please contact us.
