Pathology Residency Programs

Facilities & Resources

Billings DomeThe Johns Hopkins Hospital is a 975 bed general hospital that is a part of The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions (JHMI). The Hospital provides care to the population of metropolitan Baltimore as well as to patients referred from regional and distant locations. Training in anatomic and clinical pathology is integrated in the Department of Pathology, which each year performs approximately 381 autopsies, 78,329 surgical and 39,136 cytopathology evaluations, and over 5,000,000 laboratory tests. Laboratories are well equipped for electron microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, biochemical and molecular biology, and modern automated diagnostic services. The department has 17 divisions including autopsy pathology, cardiovascular-pulmonary, clinical chemistry, comparative pathology, cytopathology, immunology, gastrointestinal-liver pathology, gynecologic pathology, hematology, informatics, kidney-urologic pathology, microbiology, molecular pathology, neuropathology, pediatric pathology, surgical pathology and transfusion medicine.

Weinberg BuildingThe Department of Pathology has more than 100,000 square feet of space for its service and research activities. Anatomic pathology services and support labs are located on five floors of the Pathology Building, and are contiguous with the clinical pathology laboratories located in the Meyer and Carnegie Buildings. A new surgical pathology suite was opened in the Fall of 2000 as part of the Weinberg Comprehensive Cancer Center. The Pathology Residents and Fellows Resource Center is centrally located adjacent to the Pathology Administration Offices on the fourth floor of the Pathology/Carnegie Building. The resource center includes a 3,000-square-foot office area with cubicles for all house staff; an adjacent house staff workroom with computers and microscopes, the Training Program Office for the coordinator, secretary, chief residents and house staff secretary; a lounge, mail room and conference room with modern video technology. The Pathology Library and reading room also is on the fourth floor of the Pathology Building. More than 25 faculty members of the department have their basic research laboratories in 47,000 square feet contiguous space on the fifth and sixth floors of the Richard Ross Research Building, which is connected by a bridge to the Pathology/Carnegie Buildings. The department has two conference rooms and three reading rooms in this area.

Johns Hopkins Bayview CenterThe Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, a JHMI institution located two miles from The Johns Hopkins Hospital, provides opportunities for selected AP and CP rotations. Pathology services at Bayview are provided by full-time Hopkins faculty members. Rotations at JHBMC provide the experience of working in a community hospital.

More than 83 full-time primary faculty and numerous secondary and part-time faculty provide internationally recognized expertise in diagnostic pathology as well as clinical, translational and basic research. They provide the basis for training residents interested in careers in academic pathology, research, and /or community practice.
