Washington University/B-JH/SLCH Consortium Surgical Pathology Program
About This Program
The Surgical Pathology fellowships at WashU are highly immersive, with a large volume of specimens ranging from the most complex to the most common to many of the rarest. Fellows learn by seeing and doing and by handling, diagnosing, and pre-dictating most of their cases. Major strengths of the program include a diverse and abundant case mix, the availability of nationally regarded faculty mentors, graduated responsibility for clinical cases (particularly in frozen section diagnosis) & research.
