The Skin Pathology Laboratory has provided superior diagnostic services since 1986
Program Description:
This one-year fellowship is designed to prepare individuals for an academic career in Dermatopathology in the United States. Training is grounded in a high-volume practice, with over 20,000 accessions annually, including numerous challenging consultation cases. Fellows are exposed to all or a selection of cases prior to final sign-out by attending dermatopathologists.
Program Details:
The fellowship begins and concludes with two months of intensive dermatopathology training. These are separated by an eight-month rotation structured as half-day sessions: clinical dermatology for pathology-trained fellows, or surgical pathology for dermatology-trained fellows. Dermatopathology instruction continues concurrently during the remaining half of each day. Fellows are expected to actively participate in all teaching activities throughout the year.
A unique aspect of our program is the opportunity for fellows to interact and work closely with one or two international dermatopathology fellows, fostering a rich and collaborative learning environment.
Requirements:
Applicants must be board-eligible or board-certified in Pathology (AP or AP/CP) or Dermatology.
Application Deadline:
The 2026 application cycle is still open.
