Program
Description
Mayo Clinic offers a one-year Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary
Pathology Fellowship Program offering you exposure to a broad spectrum
of biopsy material and surgical specimens relating to gastrointestinal
and hepatobiliary disease.
Mayo Clinic's annual volume of gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary
specimens includes:
- Nearly 20,000 in-house endoscopic GI biopsy cases,
and 2,000 extramural consultation cases
- More than 2,000 liver biopsies, including 400
from liver transplant patients and more than 600 in the extramural
consultation practice.
- A large-volume surgical practice with broad exposure
to resected gastrointestinal, pancreatic and hepatobiliary cancers.
The fellowship combines diagnostic training with opportunities
for basic science and clinicopathologic research projects. There
are also extensive opportunities for interactions with clinical
colleagues in the form of working conferences (reviewing and discussing
material from active patients), teaching conferences (explaining
pathology to clinicians and clinical trainees) and attendance at
clinical conferences.
Program History
The Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Pathology Fellowship
at Mayo Clinic in Rochester was established in 1989 and nine fellows
have completed their training in this program. It is anticipated
that one trainee will complete this fellowship at Mayo Clinic each
year.
