Program Description:
\n<\/strong>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.<\/p>\n

Program Details:
\n<\/strong>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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Requirements:<\/strong>
\n<\/span>Applicants must be board-eligible or board-certified in Pathology (AP or AP\/CP) or Dermatology.<\/p>\n

Application Deadline:
\n<\/strong>The next available position begins July 1, 2028. Completed application (with at least 3 letters of support) deadline: May 11, 2026.<\/p>\n
