Pathology Residency
DHMC's Pathology Residency is tailored to the interests and needs of each of our residents. We practice in state-of-the-art facilities with a first-class clinical laboratory. We prepare residents for academic, sub-specialty, or general pathology careers.
The Department of Pathology provides laboratory services for inpatients and outpatients at DHMC and for a growing proportion of patients at large affiliate outreach practices in southern New Hampshire and along the Upper Valley of the Connecticut River. As a tertiary care laboratory, it also provides referral services for physicians over a wide geographic area.
It has a close affiliation with the nearby Veterans Affairs Medical Center laboratory, with sharing arrangements covering many services. There is a well-established working and educational affiliation with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in nearby Concord, N.H., through which residents gain first-hand exposure to the fascinating world of forensic pathology. The breadth, depth, and volume of material to which a resident has exposure at Dartmouth-Hitchcock are particular strengths of the training program.
