Post-Sophomore Fellowship in Pathology

The student fellowship in Anatomic Pathology and/or Laboratory Medicine (Clinical Pathology) provides medical students with an opportunity to expand their knowledge, gain a foundational pathology education, and receive hands-on experience working alongside residents, staff, and faculty. Students take a year out from medical school (usually between third and fourth years) and function like a PGY1 Resident. The program includes at least three months on Surgical Pathology service, two months on Autopsy service, three months devoted to research, and opportunities to rotate in additional areas. Within Laboratory Medicine, time may be spent in major laboratories including Chemistry, Coagulation, Hematology/Hematopathology, Transfusion Medicine, Immunology, Microbiology, and Molecular Pathology.
