From the Chief Resident

We are pleased to welcome you to our website and have the opportunity to introduce you to the Department of Pathology at the George Washington University Medical Center. The GWU Department of Pathology is committed to excellence in clinical practice, education, and research. Our training programs in anatomic and clinical pathology are fully integrated, emphasizing the unified nature of the information interpreted by the pathologist. One month you may be cutting frozen sections to assess margin status on a prostatectomy specimen and the next month you could be consulted on a transfusion reaction while on the blood bank service. Pathology residents are an integral part of the health care team, accepting increasing responsibility as their experience expands. From performing fine needle aspirations in FNA clinic, to participating in the teaching of medical students in the second-year pathology course, to performing autopsies at the D.C. Medical Examiner's Office, a GW pathology resident will be well-prepared to enter into the practice of pathology, whether it be in an academic or community setting. GWU pathology residents work hard but we also like to have fun. The nation's capital is a beautiful, vibrant, and diverse city that offers a multitude of cultural, educational, and social opportunities. There are many museums, restaurants, and parks to explore and enjoy as well as some of the best shopping and dining available in the country. Thank you for your interest in the GW Department of Pathology. If you have any questions about our department feel free to e-mail us at the addresses below. Sincerely, Samer Nassif, M.D. Jason Schalheim, M.D.
