Selective Gynecologic Pathology Fellowship

The one-year Gynecologic Pathology Fellowship Program offers combined diagnostic training and research opportunities in gynecologic pathology, with an oncologic emphasis. The fellowship is accredited by the ACGME.

The department of Gynecologic Oncology has consistently ranked among the top three institutions for the management of gynecologic cancer. The Gynecologic Pathology section is responsible for approximately 5,800 cases per year, including 2,500 outside referrals, 2,000 biopsies, 200 outside consultations and 1,100 in-house surgical cases.

Clinical responsibilities include daily sign-out sessions with the gynecologic pathology staff. The sign-out sessions alternate between the inside service (frozen section, biopsies and surgical cases) and the outside service (referral and consultation cases).

The fellow participates with the staff in the preparation of cases discussed in the Gynecologic Oncology Planning Clinic and in the quality assurance program. Fellows have exposure to placental pathology and have dedicated elective rotations of their choosing. Research opportunities are numerous and range from clinicopathologic studies to basic research projects in molecular pathology.  The training program is optimized to prepare fellows for both academic and private practice.
