Program Description
The Mayo Clinic Fellowship Program in Neuropathology provides two
years of intensive training in neuropathology, leading to subspecialty
certification by the American Board of Pathology.
The program emphasizes the development of diagnostic skills and
the ability to synthesize clinico-pathological correlations. As
a trainee in this program, you will:
- Develop skills in diagnostic neuropathology
of surgical and autopsy cases.
- Interpret lesions by light and electron microscopy,
immunohistochemistry, and new techniques of tissue diagnosis.
- Participate in dedicated rotations in neuromuscular and
peripheral nerve laboratories.
- Gain experience in the interpretation of eye
specimen tissue.
Teaching sets and archival material spanning many decades
is available, which include clinical summaries, gross and microscopic
images and microscopic slides.
At Mayo Clinic, your research opportunities will include participation
in active studies of:
- Neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer
disease, Parkinson disease, Huntington disease, frontotemporal
dementias, motor neuron diseases and multiple system atrophy)
- Demyelinating and neoplastic diseases
- Neuro-oncology, neuroimmunology and neuromuscular
disorders
During the fellowship you will develop and maintain close relationships
with Mayo Clinic's neurology, neurosurgery and neuroradiology services.
Certification
After you successfully complete Mayo Clinic's Neuropathology Fellowship,
you will be eligible for certification in neuropathology by the
American Board of Pathology.
