Mission Statement

The Department of Pathology of the University of Pittsburgh has long promoted excellence in diagnostic services, teaching, and research. The mission of the Cytopathology Center of Excellence is to promote these aspects and in particular fulfill the role as diagnostic consultants, educators, and investigators in bringing the practice to the forefront of cytopathology. Cytopathology at the University of Pittsburgh encompasses three institutions of the UPMC Health System - UPMC Presbyterian, UPMC Shadyside, and Magee Women's Hospital. The focus at UPMC Presbyterian and Shadyside is on non-gynecologic cytopathology and outcomes analysis for quality improvement. Ancillary techniques such as molecular analysis are tested for their applicability to practice. Magee Women's Hospital is the center for gynecologic medical care and the cytopathology section is devoted to the improvement of cytologic diagnosis for cervical vaginal pap smears and other related gynecologic specimens.
