Clinical Rotation Sites
The University of Toledo Medical Center (UTMC):
Since 1964, The University of Toledo Medical Center (UTMC) has been serving the health
needs of the Toledo community. Established as a teaching hospital to train the future
physicians and medical professionals of the greater Toledo region, UTMC remains dedicated
to providing advanced care and healing in a patient-centered environment. With access
to the latest clinical trials and medical research, we are committed to teaching the
next generation of health-care professionals.
Each year, more than 300,000 people rely on The UTMC to care for their health needs.
By offering best-in-class specialties, better outcomes and expert physicians, nurses
and medical technicians in a superior continuum of care, UTMC has played a vital role
in the health and healing of the Toledo region for decades. And we’ll continue to
play this role in the future.
During their clinical rotation, supervised students rotate through the Surgical Pathology gross room and frozen section lab where they are directly involved in patient care in the UTMC. Students may also utilize the simulation center and attend sign-out meetings for both surgical and autopsy cases. These rotations will form the foundation of student's technical skills and set expectations for their career as a Pathologists’ Assistant.
ProMedica Toledo Hospital:
At ProMedica Toledo Hospital, students are trained in a fast-paced Surgical Pathology setting. The hospital is a 794-bed facility which includes a level I trauma center and Russell J. Ebeid Children's Hospital. Our students are trained by experienced Pathologists and Pathologists' Assistants on a variety of cases including complex cancer cases. ProMedica Toledo Hospital receives approximately 60,000 surgical cases each year, which ensures our students have exceptional specimen volume and repetition throughout their rotation. The hospital is located 6 miles from the UTMC and is just northwest of the University of Toledo Main Campus.
Lucas County Coroner's Office (LCCO):
Students rotate in the Lucas County Coroner’s Office (LCCO) where they are directly involved in both medical and forensic autopsies.
