Gastrointestinal Pathology Fellowship

The Department of Pathology, Molecular and Cell-Based Medicine based at The Mount Sinai Health System offers a Gastrointestinal Pathology fellowship to prepare pathologists for subspecialty careers in gastrointestinal pathology.

Over the course of more than 20 years, the graduates of this Fellowship have attained international recognition in gastrointestinal pathology and have gone on to fill leading positions at prestigious medical institutions in the United States and around the world.

Mount Sinai is internationally renowned both as heir to a rich tradition in gastroenterology and as a leader in the field, with preeminence in, among others, the diagnosis and management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, laparoscopic bowel surgery, and clinical and basic research in gastrointestinal (GI) oncology and immunology. Mount Sinai Hospital is also one of few facilities in the United States approved for small intestinal transplantation.

The Department of Pathology’s Division of Gastrointestinal Pathology, with six full-time attending pathologists, oversees these endeavors. Its faculty, led by Professor Noam Harpaz, M.D., Ph.D., maintains close working relationships with Mount Sinai’s gastroenterologists, surgeons and researchers, offering the Fellows unparalleled opportunities for professional development. The service reports approximately 35,000 clinical cases per year, representing a wide variety of diseases, both common and rare.

Each academic year, three fellows are appointed for our one-year program.
