Training includes daily transplant pathology conferences, renal biopsy conferences, multidisciplinary case discussions, resident teaching, and hands-on experience with electron microscopy. The program also provides protected research time with opportunities in clinical, translational, digital pathology, molecular diagnostics, and renal transplantation research.
