PhD in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine

This Ph.D. in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, offered by the Department of Pathology at the University of Manitoba's Bannatyne campus, focuses on research at the molecular, tissue, animal, and clinical levels to understand disease-related changes. The program requires a minimum of twelve credit hours of coursework alongside a supervised, thesis-based research project, and students must present their work at the department's Annual Research Day each year. Applicants must hold a master's degree in a related biological science or medical field discipline and meet a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.2 on a 4.5 scale, with no grade lower than C+, across their most recent two years (60 credit hours) of study. The department accepts applications for Fall and Winter entry, and admitted students' supervisors must provide a minimum of $20,000 per year in financial support for four years. The program suits students pursuing research careers in disease mechanisms spanning molecular pathology through clinical correlation, rather than clinical diagnostic training.
