Program Governance & Trainee Mentoring


Program Directors: The Chair of the Department, Stephen J. Galli, MD, is the residency program director; James Faix, MD (Associate Professor of Pathology and Director of the Clinical Chemistry/Immunology Laboratory) and Teri Longacre (Associate Professor of Pathology specializing in surgical pathology) are the associate directors of the program.

Mentoring Program: Each resident is assigned a faculty mentor on admission to the program; however, residents may change mentors at any time, based on their evolving career goals or for any other reason. In addition, each resident has an annual meeting with Dr. Galli.

Residency and Fellowship Committee: The program directors seek consultation with regard to all aspects of the training program from the Residency and Fellowship Committee (RFC). The RFC, which meets monthly, is chaired by Dr. Faix and includes 4 elected representatives of the residents, the Chief Resident(s), Dr. Longacre, Dr. Galli, and members of the faculty who specialize in clinical pathology, surgical pathology, basic research, autopsy pathology and neuropathology. All rotations are evaluated by the residents, just as the faculty evaluates, and provides feedback to, the residents regarding their performance in their rotations. By working together with our trainees, the faculty strives to continue to refine and improve the training experience in Pathology at Stanford.
