We are fortunate to have an amazing team of Pathologists' Assistants throughout the room who play critical roles in patient care and resident education.

The fantastic "Team Frozens", consisting of multiple Pathologists' Assistants and a Pathology Specialist II, work side-by-side with the rotating resident to process an average of 20-25 frozen sections each day.

The CP residents' room is directly adjacent to the laboratories, and the room provides a separate cubicle for each resident with computer and storage space as well as space for informal discussion.

Residents are involved in all aspects of laboratory medicine, including new test implementation, quality assurance, data analysis and clinical consultations.

These two laboratories provide extensive, on-site genetic analysis for patients at both Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, including next-generation sequencing, microarrays and FISH analysis.
