From the program director

Reade Quinton, M.D.Welcome! Our integrated anatomic and clinical pathology curriculum provides experience with a high volume of material that includes the full spectrum of basic "bread and butter" cases as well as an unparalleled level of exposure to complex subspecialty material.

Our department benefits from one of the most advanced models in the world for digital microscopy workflow, allowing for exciting opportunities in education and consultation. Faculty commit substantial time and resources to create a structured curriculum in every subspecialty area of laboratory medicine and pathology.

Our program offers a great degree of flexibility in the curriculum, allowing for optimal diversification based on your subspecialty interests and career goals. Whether your interest is in subspecialized surgical pathology or cutting-edge molecular diagnostics and laboratory medicine, our faculty are here to support you.

Mayo Clinic's philosophy and practice are built on the model of three “shields” representing clinical practice, research, and education. Our department aims to support you in all three of these shields, recognizing that each individual will have different interests within these three shields.

The departmental atmosphere is both professional and collegial. We have outstanding levels of support from allied health staff in our laboratory and pathology practice. A teamwork mentality is embedded in our patient-centered culture. In short, we provide a unique training environment driven by exceptional people and incomparable resources. Thank you for your interest in our program.

Sincerely,

Reade Quinton, M.D.

Advisers and mentors

Shortly after match day, residents are assigned to a senior resident adviser who can provide comprehensive educational advice and personal support. The resident adviser also serves as a contact point for introducing you and your family to Rochester, Minnesota, and the Mayo Clinic system.

An open mentoring program has been designed to provide new residents with an opportunity to select a mentor based on common interests, experience, and backgrounds. The mentors are role models who assist mentees with a variety of challenges encountered during residency.

Visiting professors

Many prominent professors visit Mayo Clinic each year. They present their work during lectures and have informal discussions with trainees. You are encouraged to take full advantage of these educational opportunities.
