The Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Pathology Fellowship at
Mayo Clinic in Rochester blends clinical training with ongoing seminars
and research.
Clinical Training
The Division of Anatomic Pathology is a very busy, high-volume
surgical pathology practice.
The core of your training will be clinical in nature. Eight months
will be spent on the GI and liver services and four months in general
surgical pathology; three in the frozen section lab and one month
seeing extramural consultation cases.
On the GI biopsy rotation, you will be responsible for biopsies
from approximately 75 patients each day, reviewing the biopsies
on your own before signing out with the consultant. You will also
be expected to help train pathology residents rotating on the GI/liver
service and present material at a variety of pathology and clinical
conferences. The liver service is equally busy.
Research Training
The wealth of surgical pathology material at Mayo Clinic
offers limitless opportunities for research projects. We also collaborate
with large, active clinical groups in gastroenterology, liver transplant,
gastrointestinal surgery and gastrointestinal oncology. Core science
laboratories are located in the same building as the pathology division,
providing access to techniques such as microdissection, fluorescence
in-situ hybridization and flow cytometry.
Didactic Training
There is an integrated didactic core lecture series, attended
by all residents and fellows, which covers a range of topics in
anatomic and clinical pathology. There is also a monthly education
conference in GI/liver and periodically you will be expected to
present material at this conference. An extensive teaching file
contains glass slides demonstrating the entire spectrum of gastrointestinal
disease.
