Overview

The Residency Program in Anatomic Pathology (AP) at Nazarbayev University is developed based on the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) framework of the United States of America (The ACGME Program Requirements for Graduate Medical Education in Anatomic (AP) and Clinical Pathology (CP)) and its six (6) Core Competencies and their Milestones).

The ACGME requirements prescribe a minimum of 36 months of full-time residency training for either AP or CP alone and a minimum of 48 months of full-time residency training for a combined AP/CP program.

Educational Opportunity

Over the 3-year period, residents will have high-quality laboratory-based practical training on specialized benches on a rotational bases including full scale or complete diagnostic (clinical) autopsy, minimally invasive tissue sampling (MITS) autopsy techniques, cytopathology, surgical pathology and intra-operative consultations.

This program reflects the NUSOM commitment to the development of physician-scholars and scientists who will advance evidence-based patient care and medical practice by integrating clinical work in hospital pathology laboratories in a clinical setting with research into pathological and molecular mechanisms of disease.

This initiative represents a paradigm shift from the traditional non-evidence-based training programs in anatomic pathology currently being offered by other institutions in the country towards the global trends in educating physicians to practice evidence-based and personalized medicine.
