FORENSIC PATHOLOGY TRAINING HISTORY

With the introduction of the Match, and now ERAS, we are able to obtain consistent information about the number of applicants for Forensic Pathology Fellowship, coupled with overall Pathology Residency quotas, graduates, and finally board certification numbers. This information can be used across programs to understand the past and possibly anticipate the future.

This information will be updated annually, and if older data becomes available it will also be added.
