Rotations are structured in 4-week blocks with mixed AP and CP rotations integrated throughout each year, although some rotations including forensic pathology, dermatopathology, neuropathology, renal pathology/electron microscopy (EM), cytogenetics and molecular pathology are typically 2-week blocks. The frequency of rotations emphasizes and reinforces concepts learned on complementary services. Additionally, exposure to rotations at different levels of training helps naturally increase gradation of responsibilities and education. This design also helps routinely expose residents to most sub-specialty areas before fellowship applications are due.
