The section of Pediatric and Perinatal Pathology provides a rich mix of cases including extensive exposure to prenatal specimens (autopsies, fetopsies, placentas and products of conception); clinical pathology; cytology; diagnostic surgical specimens and neuropathology, providing the candidate with good exposure to common congenital malformations of the central nervous system. In addition, there is a rich curriculum of combined conferences and tumor boards with other pediatric services.
Furthermore, our section actively collaborates with Nicklaus Children’s Hospital to host our fellow for a period ranging from one to three months. This collaboration provides the candidate with excellent exposure to pediatric hematological and solid organ malignancies, as well as neoplastic processes.
