University of Chicago Program
About This Program
The fellow is to rotate between two sites: an academic medical center (University of Chicago) and a community-based academic affiliate (Endeavor/NorthShore). The combined experience at both sites will allow fellows to rotate through multiple laboratories and disciplines, providing a unique opportunity to enrich their exposure in all aspects of molecular pathology and prepare them for the American Board of Pathology's Molecular Genetic Pathology subspecialty exam.
