Mayo Clinic's Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology (DLMP)
is one of the largest clinical laboratories in the world. It is
composed of 1,600 individuals working in 40 specialty laboratories
performing more than 13 million tests a year.
A highly skilled team of medical professionals including physicians,
scientists, medical technologists, medical technicians, lab assistants,
biologists, chemists, microbiologists, geneticists and other specialists
work collaboratively. The department receives specimens for testing
from Mayo Clinic and Mayo Health System, and is a reference laboratory
for other clinics and hospitals both nationally and internationally.
The Division of Anatomic Pathology has 40 pathologists, with specialty
expertise in all areas 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 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 annual volume of neuropathology specimens at Mayo Clinic in
Rochester includes 500 autopsy brain and 2,200 neurosurgical, 650
skeletal muscle, 425 peripheral nerve and 200 eye specimens.
Mayo Clinic's specially trained neuropathologists will be directly
involved in your training.
