Director’s Welcome
Our Selective Pathology – Gastrointestinal/Hepatic Pathology Fellowship is a one-year, ACGME- approved program. The program is both clinically and academically oriented and focused on development of diagnostic skills in the areas of gastrointestinal, liver and pancreas pathology, including neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases. Our division provides a robust volume of excellent and diverse materials for the education of our clinical fellows. In addition to acquiring microscopic diagnostic skills, our fellows supervise the pathology residents’ grossing and previewing of cases before signing out the cases with the attending pathologist.

Our faculty is actively involved as teachers, role models, scholars, advisers and mentors who are committed to helping trainees identify niches to be successful and satisfied. Educational activities aimed at providing an avenue for reinforcing medical knowledge, in addition to daily sign-out sessions and clinicopathologic conferences and tumor boards, include didactic sessions and journal clubs. The fellows are also exposed to a variety of clinical/translational research opportunities in which they are expected to actively participate.
