Message from the Chair

VCUSOM Message from the Dean

Message from the Chair

These are transformative and exciting times for the discipline of Pathology and the Department of Pathology at VCUHS. Driving this transformation are advances in molecular diagnosis, informatics, biobanking, translational/personalized medicine, and market shifts to a value-based practice model.  As a primary provider of healthcare diagnosis, we seek to lead rather than be driven by change.

Diversity & Inclusion

Our Commitment to Diversity

Diversity is absolutely essential at a research university, just as it is in life. It is an indispensable part of the learning process. It shapes what we learn and how we learn it, how we solve problems, how we interact with one another, and how we think about ourselves and each other.
