Program Details
Education & Research
The program is designed to provide comprehensive advanced training in diagnostic surgical pathology, including standard diagnostic practices, immunohistochemistry and specialized techniques such as cytogenetics and molecular pathology.
As gastrointestinal and hepatopancreaticobiliary tract pathology services constitute a major portion of in-house and referral cases, surgical pathology training in these areas will be emphasized and translational research opportunities are available.
Clinical Experience
The fellowship is designed to provide comprehensive training in diagnostic gastrointestinal and hepatopancreatobiliary pathology, including inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatic core biopsies and Whipple procedures, and medical liver biopsies (including transplants). Additionally, the fellow is expected to participate in interdepartmental clinical conferences and training of anatomic pathology residents. The department provides ample opportunities for scholarly collaborations. As the pathology department plays an integral part in the medical school’s Scientific Basis of Medicine course, teaching M2 medical students is also encouraged. Northwestern Memorial Hospital, the main teaching hospital of the fellowship, is one of the largest referral centers in the Midwest.
Requirements
Candidates must be board eligible or certified in anatomic pathology. Please note that ASTP Fellowships with Northwestern require credentialing through Northwestern Memorial Hospital, and therefore can only accept candidates that are US Citizens/Permanent Citizens or Green Card Holders.
