Special Features
Penrose Hospital offers a unique community-based program with 14 staff pathologists and 8 pathology residents. The small size of our program allows for a cohesive and friendly atmosphere that fosters learning and allows for individualized training and development. Our pathologists are located across the Mountain Region and our digital pathology platform allows our residents to train with pathologists in-house and across the region.
