Gyn Path: Fellowship

Program:: The program is ideal for individuals pursuing academic careers in surgical pathology and/or gynecologic pathology but is not restricted to such individuals. It is designed to be a combination of a fellowship and a junior faculty assistant position of two years duration. Variations of the program are possible, ranging from a single fellowship year to two full years as a faculty assistant. The program combines advanced training in diagnostic gynecologic pathology with clinical/translational/basic research and teaching. Clinical responsibilities: sign-out of in-house material and evaluation of consultation cases. Research: the fellows are engaged in research activities, which include clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical studies as well as basic and translational research. Current staff research interests: cervical, endometrial, and ovarian neoplasia; trophoblastic disease; HPV; and tumor genetics. Teaching: supervision and instruction of residents; presentation of cases at the gynecologic oncology tumor board, colposcopy correlation conference, and reproductive endocrinology and infertility conference.

Requirements:: Minimum of two full years AP (three years preferred). Fellows must be able to obtain a Maryland license prior to starting the second year of the fellowship program. Only U.S. Nationals and foreign nationals with a permanent resident visa will be considered. The applicant must have passed USMLE Step 3 prior to our review of the application.

Stipends:: At prevailing level for clinical fellows in the SOM according to relevant experience.
