Program Description
The Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellowship is a one- or two-year program. Based in Mayo Clinic's Molecular Genetics Laboratory,
it provides experience in DNA testing for inherited diseases and
oncology/hematology. Optional training in other clinical laboratories
that utilize molecular diagnostics will be available to you. Your
allocation of time between clinical applications and research is
also flexible.
For M.D.s who are already board certified in pathology or medical
genetics, this training will provide eligibility to sit for the
examination in molecular genetic pathology offered jointly by the
American Board of Pathology (ABP) and the American Board of Medical
Genetics (ABMG).

Certification
Individuals completing the two-year fellowship in Clinical Molecular
Genetics, Clinical Cytogenetics or Clinical Biochemical Genetics
will be eligible to sit the ABMG General examination and relevant
specialty examination.
M.D. fellows who have already completed two years of an accredited
Medical Genetics Residency will be eligible to sit for the specialty
examination after one year of training. The Molecular Genetic Pathology
Fellowship is being structured to meet eligibility requirements
to sit for the examination in Molecular Genetic Pathology that will
be jointly offered by the ABP and ABMG.
Program History
The Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellowship began at Mayo
Clinic in Rochester in 2001 and since that time, four fellows have
completed their training in this program. Going forward, it is anticipated
that one or two trainees will complete this fellowship each year.
