2020 brought many challenges, including a completely virtual recruitment season where the Department had to develop new processes and activities to engage applicants in unprecedented ways. Despite these challenges, or perhaps because of them, the Department is especially honored to introduce the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine’s 2021-22 PGY1 residency class. Receiving almost 500 applications, the program matched ten residents with a variety of academic career goals for training in AP/CP, AP/NP, and CP only. The Department welcomes the incoming first-year residency class and looks forward to their arrival in June:
