MedStar Health Georgetown University Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a university-affiliated, academic four-year AP/CP categorical pathology program at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, built around a broad, integrated curriculum spanning six training sites and subspecialty rotations in transplant, renal, neuro, dermatopathology, molecular diagnostics, and hematopathology. The program emphasizes high case volume, early hands-on responsibility on surgical pathology, and comprehensive exposure across all major AP and CP disciplines rather than a narrow subspecialty focus, with a dedicated PGY-2 research rotation embedded in the curriculum. Career messaging is broad-based competency for "any clinical or academic setting," supported by evidence-based medicine training and laboratory management skills, and outcomes reflect a mix of MD and DO graduates from diverse international and domestic medical schools. The program's stated culture centers on collegiality, mentorship, and a close-knit resident community within a small class size (three per year), alongside unique transplant pathology exposure not commonly emphasized elsewhere.
