The Division of Thoracic Pathology actively participates in Multidisciplinary Conferences (Tumor Boards) providing a critical role in treatment decision-making. The division’s education mission involves lecturing to residents and fellows inside and outside of the department. The faculty members of the Division of Thoracic Pathology continue to work closely with other departments within the College of Medicine to establish collaborative research efforts in the biology of lung cancer and interstitial lung disease. These research efforts have resulted in publications and grant awards.
