Medical Student

Program Description:

These are one-year programs that provide an intensive exposure to all the components of the respective subspecialty, while concentrating on the investigative aspects.

Clinical responsibilities are kept at a minimum in order to maximize the time devoted to projects carried out under the supervision of the director of that subspecialty.

An integral part of the program consists of exposure to the various techniques used in that subspecialty (immunohistochemical, cytogenetic, molecular, etc.) and interaction with other clinical and basic departments working in the field.

The basic research work is carried out in one of the laboratories in the Division of Molecular Pathology.

• Other eligibility requirements:   
  Fellowships are available to individuals who have completed their basic training in pathology either in straight AP or combined AP-CP, with at least 2 years of prior training in an accredited U.S. or Canadian program required.

  All qualified applicants are welcome, but preference will be given to individuals committed to an academic career in pathology.

  There will be an attempt to identify individuals interested in combining two Department of Pathology sponsored fellowships, under the assumption that such combined experience should provide a strong basis for a successful career in academic pathology.

  Therefore, preference for the specialty-oriented and Molecular Pathology fellowships will be given to individuals who have completed the Oncologic Pathology fellowship at Memorial Sloan-Kettering or who have an analogous experience in a similar institution.
