Surgical Pathology Application Process

he Surgical Pathology Fellowship Program at GWU offers comprehensive training in diagnostic surgical pathology in the setting of a busy academic hospital. The case material is varied and includes representative specimens from essentially all organ systems. The fellow functions as a junior attending pathologist, with appropriate supervision and instruction by the senior faculty, and assumes sign-out responsibility for a large number of surgical cases.

Two months of the fellowship year are devoted to elective experience, during which time specialized interests may be pursued either at GWU or other institutions. The fellow participates in many intra- and interdepartmental conferences, and is also involved in quality assurance, teaching, intraoperative consultation, and research activities.

The GWU Medical Center is located on the George Washington University campus in an attractive residential area of Washington, DC. The new, state-of-the-art University Hospital is a few steps from the Foggy Bottom Metrorail station and minutes by foot from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the Georgetown shopping and entertainment district.

To apply to our program please complete the enclosed application form and return it, along with a copy of your CV, USMLE Steps 1, 2 and 3, a copy of the ECFMG certificate, if applicable. At least two letters of recommendation, one of which from your residency program director and the other one from a pathologist familiar with you and your work, should also be sent under separate cover addressed to Sana O. Tabbara, M.D., Director, Division Anatomic Pathology.
