GI and Hepatic Pathology Fellowship

Program Description

The gastrointestinal pathology fellow participates in all activities of the GI pathology service. The fellow evaluates gastrointestinal specimens from the University of Washington Medical Center, including liver, small bowel and pancreatic transplant specimens, with the pathology residents under faculty's supervision, and communicates the results to the gastroenterology/surgery/oncology fellow or attending. The fellow has primary responsibility for the evaluation and work up of outside consultation cases (approximately 1,500 annually), including dictation of reports to the consulting pathologist/clinician and responding to telephone calls/pages about the cases.

The fellow is responsible for presenting at hospital-wide clinical conferences and teaching, including liver transplant conference, liver tumor boards, GI Tumor Board, Pancreatic Tumor Board, Pathology QA conference and GI histopathology conference. Each fellow is expected to complete one or more significant scholarly projects. These can be either clinically oriented studies using patient case material, or they can be done in collaboration with researchers and involve laboratory bench work, usually in the area of molecular biology. The latter usually requires an additional year of training and a funding source. 2 positions/year.
