Rotation overview Clinical rotations

Anatomic Pathology residents spend four weeks on the cytology service during AP1 (rotation-1), and six weeks during AP2 (rotation-2). Each week that you are on the cytology service, you will be assigned to work a faculty member who is on-service, and you will have an opportunity to review and diagnose current cytology cases.
