physician-scientist’s career goals and to enable them
to apply for NIH funding.
The department has an active Pathology Research
Interest Mentoring Program (PRIMP) that provides
mentorship and career guidance. This group holds
monthly meetings attended by faculty members from
the clinical and experimental divisions, residents,
post-doctoral fellows, student researchers, and others.
Topics discussed include career pathways, research-in
progress, and grant applications.
Residents specifically interested in an academic
career in pathology will find many opportunities
for career development at the University of Utah.
Abundant opportunities for pathology research exists
in all anatomic, clinical, and experimental areas of the
department.
ARUP Laboratories is unique as a leader in
translational pathology research. ARUP Laboratories
and the ARUP Institute for Clinical and Experimental
Pathology® have developed and validated over 1500
new diagnostic tests and an even larger number
of commercially available tests. Because ARUP
is an enterprise of the University and Utah and
its Department of Pathology, ARUP has a strong
academic mission. The ARUP Institute’s researchers
and Medical Directors publish an average of more
than 120 peer-reviewed publications per year and
average more than 180 annual presentations in
national scientific meetings. This offers unparalleled
opportunities for our residents to participate in
pathology research.
Residents are welcome to develop collaborations with
faculty in any clinical or basic science department
at the University of Utah. Pathology residents have
recently collaborated with researchers in departments
as diverse as bioinformatics, molecular biology and
genetics, internal medicine, cardiology, pulmonary
critical care, hematology-oncology, anesthesiology,
pediatric neurology, pediatric infectious disease, and
dermatology.
Physican-Scientist Track
The Physician-Scientist Research Pathway is
intended for M.D., Ph.D. applicants aspiring to a
physician-scientist career. The track is recognized
by the American Board of Pathology, offers flexible
training in any of our residency tracks, and includes
one dedicated funded year of research in addition
to the clinical training, with additional research
years if grant funding is obtained. The pathway
