Message from the Chairman

I welcome your virtual visit to our department within the University of Texas Southwestern School of Medicine and Medical Center. We are one of the largest, fully-integrated departments of pathology in the country, providing the full gamut of adult and pediatric clinical services, medical student, resident and fellowship training and clinical, translational and basic research. We are broadly organized as 3 divisions (Anatomic Pathology, Clinical Pathology and Experimental Pathology) with 115 full and part time faculty, and extraordinary interdisciplinary connectivity and collegiality.

Philosophically, we believe in and strive to meet the tripartite mission of academic pathology. We are an integral part of a world-class research institution as well as a large, diverse and rapidly growing clinical enterprise that includes training at multiple sites including Children's Hospital Medical Center, Parkland Hospital, VA Hospital as well as University of Texas Hospitals. Currently, more than 80 pre-doctoral students, residents, fellows and post-doctoral scientists are being trained by our faculty. We offer broad-ranging clinical subspecialty expertise for resident and fellowship training and exposure to diagnostic test analysis, development and implementation. Our research programs are highly successful, well funded and focused on the cell and molecular mechanisms of human disease.

We are at the forefront of the development and implementation of genomics, proteomics and metabolomics as both research as well as clinical tools and encourage our trainees to become familiar with and actively involved in the latest technology. Given present and anticipated changes in medicine, I believe our discipline has a great future and will provide extraordinary opportunities for creative and motivated MDs and PhDs. I invite you explore our website, and to contact me or any of our faculty and staff for additional information regarding opportunities here at UTSW.
