title: Multidisciplinary pediatric pathology rotations in a residency training program.
abstract: The pediatric pathology residency rotations described herein represent an innovative multidisciplinary approach to residency education that combines concepts from anatomic pathology and laboratory medicine, and utilizes faculty members from pathology, pediatrics, and obstetrics/gynecology to teach pathology residents the clinicopathological highlights of antenatal, perinatal, and postnatal pathology. Training is provided through a combination of didactic interactions, laboratory experiences, and current clinical cases. As such, it can be a model for other multidisciplinary residency rotations that could span graduate medical education in pathology to permit a more thorough, informative, and stimulating residency experience.
