Visiting Students/Observers

The experience varies for the type of experience. Elective medical student rotations last a month. Undergraduate students can come one day or over the course of several months. Paid post doc research positions tend to last up to two years. The experiences we offer can be specially curated for the person's preferences.

For medical student electives, this culminates in course credit. For observers, no certificate is given

Most of the experiences offer are unpaid

We will curate the experience to the person's preference. If they are looking to enter residency, we give them opportunities to know what Pathology residency consists of.
