You will join a collegial and close-knit team within the Department of Pathology, where faculty and staff longevity reflects a culture of stability and professional satisfaction. Many faculty members trained at Augusta University and chose to remain, a strong endorsement of the program’s quality and supportive environment. This homegrown strength fosters collaboration and consistency, creating an atmosphere where colleagues are not just coworkers but long-term partners in advancing patient care and education.
The department is structured into Anatomic Pathology and Clinical Pathology, with roughly 14.5 total clinical faculty, including 4.5 in the Clinical Pathology Division. The small size means your leadership will be felt immediately, with the ability to shape operations and culture in a meaningful way. Faculty roles are complemented by experienced laboratory administrators, supervisors, and pathology assistants who manage daily operations, ensuring physicians can focus on oversight, quality, and academic contributions.
The pathology residency program supports 12 residents (expanding to 14), creating a steady flow of energetic learners engaged in both AP and CP training. Residents take first call, significantly reducing after-hours interruptions for faculty, and they rotate broadly across subspecialties. The program also offers fellowships in forensic pathology and surgical pathology, enriching the academic environment with advanced trainees.
Your colleagues in Anatomic Pathology and Molecular/Genetic Pathology will collaborate closely with you across shared cases, research, and interdisciplinary conferences. Many faculty have been with the department for over a decade, providing continuity, mentorship, and institutional knowledge that support a smooth integration for new leaders.
This is an opportunity to lead within a team that values loyalty, mentorship, and long-term commitment to both the institution and the community it serves.
