Westchester Medical Center offers residency programs in anatomic pathology, clinical pathology and combined anatomic and clinical pathology. As a tertiary care and trauma 1 level hospital serving a diverse population from seven counties in the Hudson Valley region, our campus provides a robust training ground for medical residents.

The anatomical track covers surgical pathology, autopsy pathology, hematopathology, renal pathology, neuropathology, immunohistochemical and electron microscopic applications in diagnostic pathology, and rotations in cytopathology, cytogenetics including molecular genetics, and forensic pathology. The clinical pathology track encompasses clinical chemistry, hematology, transfusion medicine, transplant immunology, flow cytometry, medical microbiology, immunology, serology and laboratory management.

Research projects are expected from all residents in the program and there are ample opportunities to participate in a variety of projects with department faculty members.
