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
Cases for each week’s conference are compiled by the surgical pathology attendings and pathology residents.
Bone Pathology
A unique resource, our Bone Pathology website showcases bone pathology and radiology correlation, along with a digital slide and video discussion for each case.
Cytopathology
Cases for each week’s conference are compiled by the Cytopathology attending and Cytopathology fellows or Pathology residents.
Clinical Pathology Unknowns
This web-based educational tool was developed for pathology trainees, non-pathology trainees, laboratory professionals, faculty, practicing pathologists, and anyone who would like to deepen their knowledge of laboratory medicine.
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.
iPad Applications
Our iPad apps span the spectrum from education for pathologists and trainees to patient education and comfort. Bright, easy-to-use, and chock-full of illustrations.
