NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a small, tightly knit academic pathology residency (nine residents) affiliated with NYU Langone, offering both a four-year AP/CP track and a three-year AP-only track, with clinical training distributed across NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island, Tisch Hospital, Bellevue, Long Island Jewish Medical Center, and the NYC Medical Examiner Office of Queens—giving residents exposure spanning community-based bread-and-butter cases, quaternary academic subspecialty material, and forensic pathology. Research is structurally embedded rather than optional: residents begin translational projects in PGY-1, must submit at least one manuscript to graduate, and are required to present at Annual Research Day and national subspecialty meetings (USCAP, CAP, ASCP). The curriculum's graduated-responsibility model, including PGY-4 junior-attending sign-out and dedicated clinical pathology management rotations covering lab directorship, quality, and finance, signals a deliberate preparation for both fellowship-bound academic careers and independent laboratory director/community practice roles. Alumni outcomes show consistent placement into competitive subspecialty fellowships (hematopathology, surgical pathology, GU/GYN, dermatopathology) at top academic centers, reflecting the program's emphasis on subspecialty fellowship as the expected next step.
