Pediatric Pathology Fellowship

The training program in Pediatric Pathology is designed to educate pathologists in the unique features of disease in the fetus, infant, child and adolescent. The focus of the program is in anatomic pediatric pathology, but rotations through the clinical laboratories are also included in the program.

The Department offers exposure to all aspects of pediatric pathology. Special strengths include tumor pathology, gastrointestinal and liver pathology, fetal pathology, hematopathology and neuropathology.

Although only one year of training is required for Board eligibility, the fellow is encouraged to remain in the program for an optional second year that is tailored to his or her specific interests. Possibilities include full-time research activities, additional training in general pediatric pathology or more intense training in one of several subspecialty areas accompanied by participation in clinical research activities. The first year of training is primarily devoted to clinical work.
