Residency

The Laboratory Medicine and Pathology residency training program at the University of Minnesota Medical School is distinctive in having a nationally recognized commitment to both clinical and anatomic pathology and the structural flexibility to customize training plans for community, academic, and research careers. 

The department provides four years of combined anatomic and clinical, four years of combined anatomic and neuropathology, and three years of anatomic or clinical pathology-only, residency training to its physicians-in-training who continually make successful academic progress toward the independent practice of laboratory medicine and pathology.  For research-intensive applicants, our department offers a Physician-Scientist program. Residents on any track (AP/CP, AP/NP, CP-only, AP-only), with an excellent clinical record are invited to apply to complete a post-residency research year. Research opportunities are available in a variety of areas including cancer biology, immunology, neuroscience, cardiovascular disease, renal disease and diabetes.
