Lists of Departments

The College of American Pathologists has a comprehensive list.

Of Particular Interest

University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB)
The Department of Pathology's PEIR (Pathology Education Instructional Resource) contains over 500 annotated and rated links. The list is especially strong in AP and CP subspecialty areas. The PEIR Digital Library contains 40,000 public-access images for use in medical education. See also the Pediatric Radiology-Pathology web page, from the Departments of Pediatric Imaging and Pathology, which features teaching cases in CNS/head and neck, GI/GU, musculoskeletal and chest diseases.

UCLA
The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine has posted training materials under "Seminars, Cases, and Lectures".

Georgetown University
The GU Pathology Web definitely qualifies as cool, but the size of the information frame is a little small--kind of like viewing info under a microscope.

Indiana University
Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine has interesting graphics and a case of the month. PERLjam 2.01 is a great collection of images and procedures for histology and general and systemic pathology. There is also a CD project, iPimages, with 3 titles currently available in mycology and parasitology and others forthcoming.

University of Iowa
The Department of Pathology has developed CME materials on gyn, gastrointestinal, and kidney pathology (among others) for the University's Virtual Hospital. Use the search engine for the Virtual Hospital to look up "pathlogy"--it's the easiest way to find pages. There's a good list of links to professional organizations. The Virtual Slidebox contains histology, histopathology, and cervical cytopathology images at zooming magnifications and links to other resources.

Johns Hopkins University
The Department of Pathology hosts a web-based Surgical Pathology unknown conference with a case of the week (you have to register, but it's free unless you request CME credit). Cytology also hosts an interesting case conference. There is a full list of online conferences and tutorials under "Teaching".

Karol Marcinkowski University of Medical Sciences, Poland
The Department of Pathology continues to expand the size and English-language contents of its web site. Interesting for its European perspective and links.

University of Minnesota
The Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology has a separate dedicated home page for its residency program with a variety of resources.

University of Pittsburgh
The Department of Pathology convenes the annual fall APIII (Advancing Practice, Instruction and Information through Informatics) conference. Of particular interest are the multiple departmental sites, the AP and CP cases of the month, the Center for Pathology Informatics, and a page of signout tools for pathologists including links to PubMed, tumor staging registries, and many, many other web-based resources.

University of Texas Southwestern
The Department of Pathology hosts the online Interactive Case Study Companion to Robbins.

University of Utah
The Internet Pathology Laboratory for Medical Education (aka WebPath) is a comprehensive pathology educational resource. There's a COW (Case of the Week), many images, tutorials, and sample exam questions.

University of Vermont
The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine provides an interesting set of web-based toolboxes for faculty and staff. General and systemic pathology courses are available online.

University of Virginia
The Department of Pathology has a nice online Laboratory Handbook (text index). You can also review case studies.

University of Washington
The Department of Pathology offers a good set of systemic pathology images (as well as some stunning photos of Seattle and its surroundings), including a cytogenetics gallery.

Yale University
Yale Pathology has set up several scope cams in Surgical Pathology. Often, nothing is visible.
