Meet The Faculty

Faculty members in the program pose for a large group shot.

Mayo Clinic's faculty is committed to teaching and facilitating the growth of medical knowledge. Many of our faculty members have published and lectured extensively and are highly regarded in their fields. The entire DLMP faculty takes an active role in your training. You have direct access to these individuals throughout the Anatomic and Clinical Pathology Residency.

From the program director

Headshot of Elizabeth A. Godbey, M.D.Welcome! Thank you for your interest in the Anatomic and Clinical Pathology Residency program at Mayo Clinic in Florida. The three shields in Mayo Clinic’s logo represent the different areas we focus on as part of our practice - patient care, education, and research. Trainees are actively involved in all three shields, gaining diverse knowledge that applies to future practice.

The Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at Mayo Clinic in Florida serves as a regional referral center for both anatomic and clinical pathology. This allows the department to provide a rich learning environment with an impressive variety of educational opportunities for pathologists in training. Trainees participate in extensive didactic and hands-on, experiential learning with graduated responsibility. Mayo Clinic in Florida leads the field in digital/computational pathology and AI development; trainees are well-trained in these exciting technologies.

Jacksonville, Florida, is an excellent place to live and work. Residents enjoy this coastal area with easy beach access, beautiful nature and wildlife, and all the conveniences that come with living in the largest city in the southeast. The majority of training time is spent in Jacksonville. Mayo Clinic in Florida is part of the Mayo Clinic Enterprise and Florida residents therefore have the benefit of networking and learning throughout the Enterprise. Trainees also participate in external rotations in Orlando, Florida (pediatric pathology) and are encouraged to select external rotations that best prepare them for their unique future practices.

Our primary goal is to fully prepare trainees for independent pathology practice, fellowship training, and successful American Board of Pathology certification. Please contact us with any questions you may have.
