An ACGME accredited two year fellowship provides extensive hands-on experience in clinical and experimental neuropathology and when completed provides eligibility for American Board certification in Neuropathology.
The very active clinical service includes surgical and autopsy neuropathology, muscle and nerve biopsies as well as surgical and autopsy ophthalmic pathology. Training in frozen section diagnosis, immunohistochemistry and ultrastructure is provided. The applicant will also be exposed to the administrative and technical aspects of tissue and brain banking. Conference participation provides opportunity for teaching anatomic pathology, neurosurgery and neurology residents. Basic and applied research in neuro-oncology and neuroscience is available.
Applicants must be Board certified or eligible in Anatomic Pathology.
One fellow is accepted each academic year.
