Clinical Fellowships

Overview

The Department of Pathology at Stanford University Medical Center trains outstanding candidates for academic, private practice and other leadership positions in pathology.

The Pathology Department selects trainees based on their preparedness, ability, aptitude, academic credentials, and communication and interpersonal skills.

We offer 15 ACGME-accredited clinical fellowships in: Breast Pathology, Cytopathology, Dermatopathology, Gastrointestinal Pathology, Genitourinary, Gynecologic Pathology, Hematopathology, Medical Microbiology, Molecular Genetic Pathology, Neuropathology,  Ophthalmic Pathology, Pediatric Pathology, Renal Pathology, Surgical Pathology, and Transfusion Medicine Pathology. We also offer non-accredited fellowships in Clinical Informatics and Clinical Data Science.

Stanford Pathology fellows play a central role in the Department’s goal to provide quality service to patients. Clinical duties vary depending on the service being covered. In general, pathology trainees take on graduated responsibility, functioning as liaisons between the clinical teams and the pathology laboratory.
