Greetings,

I am excited to announce that Brandon Regional Hospital has recently received ACGME accreditation for Pathology this week. This confirms we are able to begin our program in this year’s cycle and will soon be active in ERAS to accept applications for start date July 1, 2018.


The Pathology program is a 4-year residency and will begin with 2 residents per year in its inaugural class. Affiliation with USF College of Medicine.


Brandon Regional Hospital is located in Brandon, FL just 20 minutes East of Tampa.

Are we going to apply thru eras for this year cycle? And when it will be available on eras to apply?

Thank you

For more information email [email protected], you will apply via ERAS this up coming week when they are in ERAS.

Not nice, ill gladly take the position and prove with board scores that I received excellent training comparable with anyone else in the country. Its all about the attitude of the residents that determines tiers.

Totally agree. Just a way to get easy cheap labor. Not going to be a quality program at all.

If you would gladly take this program, it prob means you can’t get into an actually decent program. How can you prove with board scored you are better, path boards are pass/fail. Also, passing boards does not equate to being competent enough to sign out in every day practice. I know many pathologists who have passed boards yet I would not ever hire due to sheer incompetence when trying to sign out cases. It is not just about attitude of residents that determines tier, it’s about specimen volume more importantly complex specimen variability and the attending you have who want to come teach.

Please tell me did all "decent" programs start off with 50000 cases a year? Hopkins, Mayo, Cleaveland clinic? How about step 3 scores? They are numerical? P/F rates are extremely important to program directors and faculty. Taking a leap of faith is all that you need sometimes. I went to a new medical school and passed both step 1 and step 2 ck the first time.
Path more than most residency programs involves loads of self-directed learning, if I am motivated enough I can get enough specimens with varying pathology to learn like a fellow resident at Cedar Sinai for eg. Their ED is extremely busy and expects to grow in the upcoming years. I have friends in their IM program who carry a decent load and wide array of pathology on a daily basis.

Are you an FMG?

Your attitude is foolish.

I am going to assume that you went to a foreign medical school and hold that merely passing steps 1 and 2 are significant accomplishments. They are not. They are expectations.

If you go to this program, you will not learn from experts, nor will you gain experience in being able to work up complex cases, or even simple cases from unusual sites.

You will, however, become proficient at grossing, which is a technician's job.

Going to a program like this reflects poorly on your planning skills, because if you wanted to gain the experience of being a technician, you could have saved yourself the effort and done a two-years master's program in it.

How your future will turn out is as follows:

As you complete your residency, you will then do fellowships in surg path (because your residency ill-prepared you for practice), and then in cytology or something uncompetitive. You will then go into the job market coming from a medical school and pathology program of low standing, and have to take a position with a slide mill or podlab, where you will be expected to sign out twenty trays a day for 100k a year.

Save yourself the trouble and do family medicine. You'll save a year, and your job market will be better. You will also make more money.

What might be an expectation for one might be an achievement for another. Coming from a background where no one really knew what education was, self-financing 8 years of schooling post-high school is an achievement on its own. As long as I pay off my debt, 100K might be enough for me.
I plan on pursuing neuropathology after pathology. I might not have planned everything perfectly but I am not going to close doors of opportunities to make something out of nothing. If there are certain areas of weaknesses in a program they let you spend a few months with the "experts" as you near completion of your residency. If you're putting in hard work, it gets appreciated and rewarded, maybe more so at a new program compared to a "top tier" program. These hierarchies in medicine do nothing but hold people back from achieving their dreams.
If I was half as cynical as you I wouldn't be a graduate of any school forget a foreign medical school. Maybe going to a foreign school makes your skin thicker and rely less on learning from someone and instead prepared me to teach myself from day 1.
