Breast Pathology Fellowship

The Department of Pathology offers one highly competitive, one-year Advanced Specialty Training Program (ASTP) fellowship position in breast pathology for the 2025-26 academic year, emphasizing a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach. We will begin accepting applications in 2023.

Breast pathology plays a central role in the care of patients with diseases of the breast; an accurate, state-of-the-art diagnosis is the cornerstone of any further evaluation and management of the patient. Faculty involved in the program are committed to the subspecialty training of breast pathology fellows and are leaders in the field at the local, national, and international levels.
