Surgical Pathology Fellowship

Sobre el programa

The emphasis of the program is on progressive independence in case management. This includes gross examination, intraoperative consultation, microscopic diagnosis, as well as ancillary and molecular testing, resulting in a complete diagnostic report on complex cases.

RESPONSABILIDADES

Our program is structured similarly to that of a staff pathologist. Fellows are scheduled within the attending rotation schedule each month. The goal of this fellowship is to provide the fellow with the closest experience to being a staff pathologist as possible.

Responsibilities include:

• Frozen sections
• General surgical pathology sign-out, which includes:
  • Pecho
  • GYN
  • GI/liver
  • Trasplante
  • Consults
  • Cytology
  • Neuropathology frozen section
  • Outpatient biopsies

Scholarly activity

Fellows are expected to:

• Participate in the education of rotating residents and medical students as well as evaluate their performance
• Attend and present cases to the faculty and staff at a daily consensus conference
• Attend and present at didactic sessions and journal club meetings
• Participate in the QA Committee and complete a QA Project
• Attend and present cases at subspecialty tumor boards and MDTs

We strongly encourage fellows to participate in a research project with abstract and presentation at a national meeting.
