The following are annual awards given to members of the Pathology house staff. Each award is presented at the Annual House Staff Graduation Dinner and each includes both a certificate and monetary prize.
The Resident of the Year Award is given each year to a Pathology resident in recognition of overall excellence. This is considered the most prestigious of the resident awards. The sum total of the resident's work and accomplishments in the areas of clinical service, learning of pathology, teaching of pathology, research, and professionalism is considered in the selection of the recipient. The selection is made by a vote of the entire teaching faculty in the program.
