General Description

John Hopkins Pathology is recruiting for our 2026-2027 advanced surgical pathology fellowship, which offers trainees the opportunity to independently sign out cases in a highly supported setting. Applications may be submitted now and acceptances are on a rolling basis until the program is filled. The fellowship is flexible and may be structured to meet the applicant's interests (more months of sign-out in areas of interest, fewer in others). See below for more details.

Description

This is a one-year position combining clinical experience in Surgical Pathology. The responsibilities of this position include independent sign-out of surgical pathology cases (in-house and confirming consult), intraoperative frozen section evaluation, resident instruction, oversight of the grossing area, and participation in clinical conferences. Faculty are available for consultation at all hours so the Assistant has as much support as needed. The Assistant also has access to a broad menu of immune-stains, in-situ hybridization, and molecular assays. The fellowship includes 4 months of unstructured elective time which may be used for participation in subspecialty consultation service sign-outs, research, or other professional development activities as well as job interviews and vacation.
