All of the major subspecialties are well represented and experienced during the fellowship including GI, GU, Gyn, Breast, Head and Neck, Thoracic, Bone and Soft Tissue, Pediatric, Medical Renal, Liver and Transplant pathology. Elective time in Neuropathology, Hematopathology, Dermatopathology, Cytopathology or Molecular Pathology is also available to supplement the core rotations. In addition, there are significant opportunities for clinical and basic research. The range of experience ensures that the fellow will be well-prepared for a career in academia or in private practice, and there is a strong record of former fellows having accomplished those objectives.

Two surgical pathology fellows are accepted each year, for a one year term. Primary responsibilities consist of previewing cases, preparing reports, and presenting cases at tumor boards and other interdepartmental conferences. Fellows play an important role as teachers and mentors to the residents on the surgical pathology rotation, helping them develop diagnostic skills and showing interesting cases at the multi-headed microscope. In the gross room the fellows serve in an advisory capacity but do not routinely gross specimens. On the frozen section service, and in all other aspects of surgical pathology, the faculty provide the fellows with a nurturing and supportive environment as they gradually develop their own skills and confidence to make the transition from 'trainee' to 'independent practitioner'.

Requirements: Candidates must have completed 3 years of a GME approved AP or AP/CP residency training and be Board eligible in Pathology by the start date of the fellowship. Citizenship, permanent residency, or J1 visa status is also required.
