Have you put any thought into where you would like to focus your research efforts as a pathology resident?

Before your pathology residency interview, consider the types of research you'd like to pursue as a resident. While your potential research path can take many directions, your interviewers want to hear that you are interested in pursuing publishing and presentations during your time training with their program. Keep in mind that the actual focus of your research isn't as important as having a plan.

"One of the primary reasons I'm interested in your program is that you offer a Phy/Sci track and over six months of dedicated research-focused time. I'm very excited to pursue translational research while training with your program, and my passions now fall in gene fusions for tumors and researching organ transplant rejections."
