The Division
of Anatomic Pathology has 40 pathologists, with specialty expertise
covering the entire field of surgical pathology. The division is
organized around working groups dedicated to specific organ systems,
but all members contribute service to general areas as well (e.g.,
frozen section lab, autopsy, cytology).
The core of the GI/liver working group includes five specialists
with interest in gastrointestinal and liver pathology. Several other
pathologists also participate in the GI portion of the practice.
The division is supported by a full-service histology and immunohistochemistry
laboratory, an active electron microscopy section and a growing
in-situ hybridization lab. The hospital surgical pathology practice
is unique in its heavy reliance on rapid frozen section diagnosis,
providing trainees a valuable opportunity for immediate correlation
of gross and microscopic pathology.
The GI and liver pathologists work closely with the clinical division
of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. It is the largest practice of
its kind in the United States . Each year, members of the division
perform approximately 30,000 minimally invasive endoscopic procedures
in state-of-the-art facilities.
