A one-year fellowship in general surgical pathology is offered by the Division of Surgical Pathology. Seven positions a year are available for AP or AP/CP residents who are interested in receiving focused and intensive training in diagnostic surgical pathology. The specific rotations include: 1) provisional “hot seat” diagnosis, 2) supervision of the gross room and frozen sections, 3) transplant biopsies (liver, lung, kidney, heart) and medical renal disease, 4) faculty consult cases as well as those submitted for immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy and/or molecular diagnostics, 5) GI and/or Gyn consult cases rotation, 6) a surgical pathology rotation within the Department with more senior responsibilities for cases, and 7) elective time (i.e., choice of cytology, dermatopathology, neuropathology, molecular diagnostics, research, and/or consult rotations with emphasis on faculty). Other options are also possible. Each rotation comprises about 15-20% of the 12-month fellowship. All rotations are at the main UCSF campus, which includes all general surgical pathology specimens from both Moffitt-Long and Mt. Zion Cancer Center Hospitals (about 26,000 surgicals).
Requirements
Two years of anatomic pathology residency training are required before starting the fellowship.
We are currently recruiting for 2011. Complete applications, your most recent C.V., and three letters of recommendation are due December 31, 2009.
