Path 2 Path Graduate Certificate

The mission for the Path 2 Path master’s certificate is to prepare physicians to enter an accredited pathology residency training program in the United States. Students will take courses through Graduate Medical Sciences at BU Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine. Clinical observerships will be done working directly with board-certified pathologists in both anatomic pathology and laboratory medicine. The program offers an in-depth exposure to both the theoretical and practical aspects of pathology.

In addition to the formal coursework, students will enroll in the American Society of Clinical Pathology Informatics online program. Students will also take the Resident In-Service Exam for pathology during the spring, which will test their pathology knowledge.

The graduate certificate program will require one year to complete. Students will enroll in the Summer 1 term and complete the program in the spring, so that they will be ready to begin pathology residency training in July following completion of the certificate.
