Montefiore Medical Center Pathology

MontePath Onboarding Program Site

Welcome and congratulations on your acceptance to the Monte pathology training program!  To ease your transition into the world of path we created this program. Please progress through the training modules at your own rate. The ideal goal would be to have all this material covered before the start date. This site will also serve as informational nexus for resources, policies, schedules, and the latest announcements.  

The Onboarding site is organized as follows:

Learning Exercises: (A) There are histology video modules to complete. The histology video link connects you to the American Board of Pathology's Online Histology Primer. It includes high impact, short learning videos with built-in self-assessment questions. We have a list of required modules assigned. The remaining modules are optional. (B) There are also three case-based learning exercises with built in self-assessment modules. (C) We would also like you to complete a pre-test labeled "On boarding self-assessment".
