Governance & Trainee Mentoring
- Program Directors: Neeraja Kambham, MD, Professor of Pathology is the Director of the Residency Training Program.; Kim Allison, MD (Associate Professor of Pathology) and Iris Schrijver, MD (Professor of Pathology and Director of Molecular Pathology Laboratory and Director of Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellowship Program) are the associate directors of the program.
- Mentoring Program: Each resident is assigned
a faculty mentor on admission to the program; however,
residents may change mentors at any time, based on their evolving career
goals or for any other reason. In addition, each resident has an annual
meeting with the Chair of the department, the program director and the appropriate associate director..
- Residency and Fellowship Committee: The
program directors seek consultation with regard to all aspects of the
training program from the Residency and Fellowship Committee (RFC). The
RFC, which meets monthly, is chaired by Drs. Allison, Kambham and Schrijver, and includes elected representatives of the residents, the Chief Resident(s), Dr.
Allison, Dr. Kambham, Dr. Schrijver, Dr. Stephen Galli (Department's Chair), and members of the faculty who specialize in clinical
pathology, surgical pathology, basic research, autopsy pathology and neuropathology.
All rotations are evaluated by the residents, just as the faculty evaluates,
and provides feedback to, the residents regarding their performance in
their rotations. By working together with our trainees, the faculty strives
to continue to refine and improve the training experience in Pathology
at Stanford.
