👋✨ Welcome to the UCLA Pathology Family!

Resident Orientation 2025 was packed with learning, connection, and fun! Highlights included our hands-on grossing workshop, resident-led scope sessions, and immersive onboarding experiences to kickstart the year. Our PGY1s and Post Junior Fellows are already settling in with their new ergonomic desks and fully equipped workspaces!

We also made time for fun—like a trip to the farmers’ market and a classic happy hour! We’re so excited to have our newest trainees join the team!
