Division of Anatomic Pathology

Anatomic Pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease in tissues and organs, largely using the traditional tools of morphologic analysis, supplemented with newer techniques from molecular and computational biology.

There are five divisions of Anatomic Pathology at Montefiore:

Surgical Pathology
Cytopathology (or Cytology)
Hematopathology
Neuropathology
Autopsy Pathology

These specialize in diseases of tissues removed by surgery or diagnostic biopsy; cells in body fluids, smears and aspirates; blood and blood-forming tissues; central, peripheral nervous and muscular tissues; and post-mortem tissues, respectively. Each division has a medical director and an attending staff with sub-specialty expertise to perform its mission of clinical diagnosis, research and teaching, and is described separately.

We are like a large family in the NICU. Everyone works together as a team at The Children’s Hospital at Montefiore, which is very family-oriented and a wonderful place to work. [more]
