Our goal is to prepare pathologists for either community practice with a subspecialty focus or academic breast and gynecological pathology, by providing in-depth experience with graduated responsibility
The Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Baylor College of Medicine Temple, Breast and Gynecological Pathology Fellowship is a one-year fellowship program approved by the Texas Medical Board and offers advanced training in all aspects of breast and gynecological pathology.
Our laboratory processes more than 90,000 surgical pathology accessions per year, including nearly 4000 breast specimens and 11,000 gynecological specimens.
We accept one fellow per year. Fellows will spend all of their training time in Temple, TX
As the largest not-for-profit health care system in Texas and one of the largest in the United States, Baylor Scott & White serves 41 counties through 52 hospitals, more than 1,200 access points, more than 7,100 active physicians, more than 52,000 team members and the Baylor Scott & White Health Plan.
