Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellowship

We offer a one-year Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-approved program that provides comprehensive training for one fellow each year in the principal components of molecular genetic pathology. Fellows acquire the fundamental skills and knowledge base required to direct a molecular diagnostics laboratory.

The core laboratory rotations include didactic and practical experience in the performance and interpretation of molecular diagnostics as well as cytogenetic and biochemical laboratory tests related to solid tumors, leukemia, lymphoma, heritable genetic disorders, infectious disease, tissue typing/identity testing, and pharmacogenetics. You have direct exposure to laboratory management, quality assurance, troubleshooting, assay development and validation and instrument evaluation.
