Our Fellowship offers advanced training with in-depth exposure to the full spectrum of Surgical Pathology. Our nine core faculty members specialize in one primary and one or more secondary subspecialties, including GI, Liver, GU, Gyn, Breast, Head and Neck, Thoracic, Bone and Soft Tissue, Pediatric, Renal and Neuropathology. We receive about 20,000 cases per year, with a full diversity of high complexity neoplastic and non-neoplastic specimens. The range of experience ensures that the fellow will be well-prepared for a career in academic or private practice. One month of elective time is also available.
Primary responsibilities consist of previewing slides, preparing reports, and presenting cases at tumor boards and other conferences. Fellows teach and mentor pathology residents and rotating medical students. On the frozen section service, and in all other aspects of surgical pathology, the faculty provide a nurturing and supportive environment as fellows develop their own skills and confidence to make the transition from 'trainee' to 'independent practitioner’. We are transitioning to whole slide imaging for primary diagnosis in, ensuring that our fellows will be well prepared when they encounter it in future practice.
Though most of our fellows are recent graduates, some have been individuals who were previously in practice in another subspecialty but returned to training in order to become proficient in General Surgical Pathology.
UTMB Health system provides services in several hospitals with a combined 900+ beds. We are located in Galveston, an island on the Gulf coast of Texas, approximately 50 miles southeast of Houston. For details on living in the Galveston area please visit https://www.utmb.edu/utmbliving/.

Previous fellows and residents who have worked in this position find the experience to be enlightening and profoundly educational as they directly interact with clinicians, surgical pathology attendings, and mentor junior residents. The typical day starts with evaluation of routine and expedited biopsies followed by non-biopsy excision specimens. In the afternoon, the hot seat is responsible for intraoperative consultations together with one of the resident bench attendings. The frozen section room is immediately across the hall and adjacent to the routine cutting room.
The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine accessions approximately 35,000 surgicals, 4,500 non-gyn and fine needle aspirate cytology specimens, and over 60,000 gyn cytology specimens per year.
Community: Burlington is a four-season city with a multitude of cultural events and outdoor activities such as hiking, biking and skiing. Vermont offers an outstanding quality of life with benefits that include clean environment, world-class restaurants and excellent schools. As the largest city in Vermont, the community attracts outstanding musical and stage performances.

Surgical Pathology Fellowship
2022-2023
This is a one-year ACGME-accredited program designed for individuals who wish to pursue intense training in Surgical Pathology in an environment that allows graduated responsibility and independent work necessary to build diagnostic confidence and maturity. This fellowship provides the necessary training for the fellow to function upon completion as an academic pathologist with responsibilities in service, teaching, and research, or as a community-based pathologist with responsibilities primarily in service and laboratory management. The Surgical Pathology laboratory at VCU Medical Center processes over 20,000 cases/year representing benign and malignant pathology, including biopsies as well as large complex resections, from all organ systems. Sign-out in Surgical Pathology is subspecialized, assuring trainee interaction with faculty with expertise in specific organ system pathology. The general framework of this fellowship includes: nine months rotations through various subspecialty services (GI and Liver pathology, Gynecologic Pathology, Genitourinary Pathology, Breast/Heart/Lung Pathology, General, Head and Neck Pathology, and Dermatopathology) and three months of elective rotations. The fellowship allows potential flexibility in the schedule, depending on the fellow's subspecialty interest (e.g., primarily Gynecologic Pathology focus). With sufficient preparation, the fellow "mock" signs out the cases as a junior attending with the resident, handles frozen sections and consultation cases, instructs the residents in processing complex specimens. Presentations at interdisciplinary conferences provides important correlation with clinical management consequences. Elective rotations are available in Neuropathology, Cytopathology, Molecular Pathology, or selected clinical pathology services (Hematopathology, Blood Bank). The fellow is expected to participate in one of the many departmental research projects, including presentation at national meetings and peer-reviewed publication encouraged.
Requirements: Candidates must have satisfactorily completed an accredited training program in AP or AP/CP and passed USMLE Step 3.
Stipends: Salary and benefits are commensurate with level of training.
Available Position(s): Scheduled to start accepting applications for the 2022 – 2023 academic year in July 2020 – one position.
