Discipline of Laboratory Medicine

Message from the Chair

Our discipline is dedicated to excellence in teaching, research, and clinical service. We presently have 33 full and part-time faculty, 2 cross-appointed faculty, 2 joint faculty, 4 adjunct faculty, and 10 residents. We also have 22 part-time faculty in New Brunswick.

Our Diagnostic and Molecular Pathology Residency Program is fully accredited with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Our faculty work closely with our residents and our residents are successful not only in their Royal College examinations, but also in securing employment within our province and elsewhere in Canada. We have been granted provisional accreditation by the Canadian association of Clinical Biochemists Board and will start to accept postdoctoral learners into our new Clinical Biochemistry Training Program in July 2024.

Our discipline encompasses pathology, infectious disease and microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry, hematology, cytogenetics, and molecular genetics. Our faculty are striving for excellence in their individual fields.

I invite you to browse through our website and become familiar with our faculty, residents, and their achievements.
