We typically offer two to three fellowship positions annually. The fellowship is filled for 2025-2026 and 2026-2027. We are currently accepting applications for the 2027-2028 academic year.<\/b><\/div>\n

Program Description<\/h2>\n

The ºÚÁÏÍø Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine offers one-year Fellowship\/Clinical Faculty Instructorships in Surgical Pathology. The training year is intended for board-eligible or board-certified anatomic pathologists who want progressive responsibility and to develop excellent diagnostic skills in surgical pathology in an academic practice environment.<\/p>\n

Graduated responsibility is a hallmark of our department\u2019s residency and fellowship programs. This fellowship is a hybrid fellowship-instructorship position with an emphasis on independent sign-out responsibility for the majority of the year. Fellows begin with an initial period of supervision in working up the full range of Surgical Pathology cases, and progress to independent sign out of a full volume service in a busy academic medical practice. Fellows are credentialed for independent sign-out in the fall. During the spring semester of full independent sign-out workload, fellows may choose 1-2 subspecialties of particular interest for additional concentration or continue through all services for a more general experience. The flexibility of the spring allows for a uniquely tailored experience during this critical time of training before our fellows embark on their career as a practicing pathologist.<\/p>\n
