Pathology Club
The Pathology Club, sponsored by the VCU Department of Pathology, is a medical student organization that promotes the pathology specialty as a career option. Through guest lectures, workshops, and networking opportunities, the club aims to enhance students’ understanding of disease mechanisms, diagnostic techniques, and the role of laboratory medicine in clinical practice.

ROBERT C. BRYAN PRIZE IN PATHOLOGY FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS
"I did not know or realize before how few rewards there are for excellence in professional institutions...I should be highly honored to be allowed, I trust permanently, to give a modest prize to that student in pathology whose excellence, as determined by you, the President, may deem to be the best." -Robert C. Bryan, MD
The Robert C. Bryan Prize, established in 1935, is presented each year to the most outstanding medical student in pathology. Past winners have successful careers in medicine, practicing in a broad range of specialties and settings. Exploration into the cause and progression of disease is at the very foundation of medicine. Dr. Bryan's prize continues to serve as both a reward and an incentive for aspiring medical practitioners to build strong foundations for their careers.
