intellectual honesty to admit, "I do not know what this observation means," as an important step in an individual's educational process. Our program has detailed objectives to meet our program goals for each area of training. These objectives outline the areas of knowledge a resident must master to become a competent pathologist. Anatomic Pathology Program Goals and Objectives Clinical Pathology Program Goals and Objectives Typical 4-Year AP/CP Educational Program Training Schedule Anatomic Pathology Dr. Rochelle Garcia directs the anatomic pathology training and overall pathology residency training program. First Year AP Training. During the initial year, residents train in autopsy pathology, surgical pathology, and cytology. Surgical pathology training covers all systems including a focus on dermatopathology, breast, GI & liver. Assigned cases in rotation, residents primarily analyze the anatomical disease process and its correlation with clinical findings. Residents spend 6 months at UWMC, 4 months at VA Puget Sound Health Care System, and 2 months at Harborview Medical Center. Residents are encouraged to enhance the autopsy experience with forensic pathology training at the King County Medical Examiner’s Office, under the supervision of Dr. Richard Harruff, Chief Medical Examiner. Second Year AP Training. Our program is designed to provide increased responsibility for independent sign out of surgical specimens during the second year of anatomic pathology training. The three-month surgical rotation at UWMC provides comprehensive training and experience in general surgical pathology, in the management and diagnosis of rare diseases and complex specimens, and in subspecialty areas, including soft tissue, pulmonary and gynecological pathologies. There are two months of concentration on breast, GI tract, liver and renal pathologies. There is a designated one-month rotation in dermatopathology. Residents study anatomic pathology at Children’s under the direction of Dr. Joe Rutledge, Director, Laboratory Services, for two months. And a two-month rotation at HMC provides in depth experience in cytopathology and neuropathology. There is one month designated for elective study. During the designated renal and elective rotations the resident has the opportunity to continue autopsy study by providing backup to the Autopsy Service at UWMC. Second year training occurs at UWMC (8 months), CHRMC (2 months) and HMC (2 months). In addition, residents receive case-based training in the specialized testing methods of immunocytochemistry, ultrastructure, and flow cytometry. -6-

First Year CP Training. The first year of Clinical Pathology takes place at the University of Washington Medical Center, Harborview Medical Center, Puget Sound Blood Center and the VA Puget Sound Health Care System. The year comprises a tightly organized full-year of study, beginning with a 7-week core course (lectures, discussions and laboratory exercises) designed to introduce you to the breadth of the field of clinical pathology. The introductory course covers basic material in blood banking, coagulation, immunology, urinalysis, clinical chemistry, microbiology, hematology, parasitology, mycology, virology, molecular pathology, biostatistics and laboratory computer applications. This is followed by a series of rotations in the following areas: • Chemistry (11-12 weeks) • Microbiology (6-7 weeks) • Immunology/Genetics (5 weeks) • Blood Banking (2 weeks) • Virology (2 weeks) • Hematology (8-9 weeks) • Coagulation (6-8 weeks) • Laboratory testing - interpretative course (1 weeks) Second Year CP Training. You can tailor the second year to meet your specific career goals. During the first six months, second-year residents receive an in-depth exposure to one or two areas of laboratory medicine and exercise graded responsibility by acting as directors of subspecialty lab sections. Additionally, three weeks of the second year are spent in a clinically-oriented rotation in transfusion medicine at Puget Sound Blood Center (PSBC). The remainder of this year is spent in either AP or CP electives. You may spend this time developing skills in one or more areas of the clinical laboratory or receive a more generalized experience at one of the community hospitals associated with the program. Second year Clinical Pathology residents train at UWMC, Harborview, the VA, and PSBC. Resident Portfolio. Medicine has become increasingly dependent on the existence of documented evidence to support decisions and practices. This extends to a need for concrete documentation of resident competency. One well-accepted way of documenting competency is by the development of a portfolio of representative work products. Accordingly, residents develop an electronic portfolio
