Clinician Training

Pathology Education for Clinicians

The Department of Pathology at Johns Hopkins offers numerous educational opportunities for clinicians.

Unknown Case Conferences

Unknown Case Conferences happen weekly in our department, where faculty members and residents identify unusual surgical pathology cases and assign diagnoses. These cases appear in digital form on the sites below, where you can learn about these unusual cases. You can also visit our department Twitter page for cases posted by our residents.

Surgical Pathology Photo Website

In 2018, the gross room staff in the Surgical Pathology Department at The Johns Hopkins Hospital began compiling a library of gross specimen photographs to be used as an educational resource for pathologists’ assistant (PA) students, pathology resident trainees, medical students and the general public interested in surgical pathology.
