The Surgical Pathology fellowship program at GW 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 GW 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.
