As a pathologists' assistant, you'll investigate the various elements that impair organ and bodily system health. Our NAACLS-certified program—one of just 15 in the U.S. and Canada—trains you to assess, handle, and prepare tissue samples for diverse clinical tests and procedures. The expertise you gain makes you highly sought-after in hospitals, diagnostic labs, research institutions, and academic medical settings.

Our curriculum focuses on building a robust understanding of anatomical, surgical, and autopsy pathology principles and their practical implementation. You'll master techniques including light microscopy, biomedical imaging, frozen section analysis, and tumor assessment. This blend of theoretical knowledge and technical proficiency prepares you to accurately diagnose conditions, support postmortem analyses, and document precise medical records.

Cutting-edge resources like our clinical simulation lab merge classroom instruction with hands-on practice for an interactive educational approach. During your year-long clinical rotations, you'll work in both community and academic hospitals, allowing you to practice surgical and autopsy pathology techniques while refining your professional aspirations.
