Pathology informatics is an interdisciplinary information science discipline primarily concerned with the collection, classification, manipulation, storage, retrieval and dissemination of information to solve problems in pathology.

Our award-winning program was first established in 1995 and has a long history of national and institutional leadership in medical informatics. 

The Pathology Informatics Section is UC Davis School of Medicine’s academic home for educational programs leading to certificates and master’s degrees and include innovative on-line courses. The section is also an integral part of the department's residency program. A Pathology Informatics 1-month rotation has been a requirement for our residents since 2006. We also offer 1-year post-doctoral fellowships in Pathology Informatics to selected individuals as funding is available.
