The Departments of Pathology at The Children’s Hospital and the University of Colorado-Denver School of Medicine in Aurora, Colorado offer a one-year fellowship in pediatric pathology. The program provides training in pediatric surgical pathology, perinatal pathology, autopsy pathology, transfusion medicine and apheresis, clinical chemistry, hematology, microbiology, virology, flow cytometry, molecular diagnostics and electron microscopy. Areas of pediatric subspecialty expertise include GI and liver disease, pulmonary disease, hematolymphoid disorders, orthopedic pathology, neuropathology, ultrastructural pathology, and molecular pathology. The fellowship year can be tailored to the individual interests of the fellow, and a combination of research and service activity is encouraged.

The Children’s Hospital is a 284-bed freestanding hospital and is the major site for the University’s Department of Pediatrics. Expansion in the near future will include a 100-bed pavilion and a maternal-fetal center. The Children’s Hospital Department of Pathology processes approximately 6500 surgical, 2500 cytology, 650 bone marrow and 250 consultation specimens annually. The University Department processes more than 350 perinatal autopsies and placentas, predominantly from high-risk pregnancies. The combined pediatric pathology faculty consists of six anatomic pathologists, three clinical pathologists and two PhDs. The close relationship between the Departments allows the fellow to draw upon expertise and resources in virtually every area of diagnostic and experimental pathology.

Applicants should have completed training in an approved residency program in AP or AP/CP. Applications for appointment beginning July 1, 2011 will be considered until December 1st of the preceding year.

At the conclusion of the year the fellow will have had direct instructional experience in the four principal realms of developmental and pediatric pathology: (a) placentology, reproductive (obstetrical) pathology, and perinatal pathology, (b) pediatric surgical and autopsy pathology with emphasis on neoplastic disorders, (c) pediatric clinical pathology and current molecular medicine, and (d) pediatric age forensic pathology, and be eligible to take, at the next sitting, the subspecialty board.

The successful candidate will have passed parts I, II, and III of USMLE and be fully board eligible or already certified in AP-CP. The fellow will be required to become board certified in AP-CP during the year, if not prior to the start of the fellowship year, for issuance of the certificate of satisfactory completion by the program. Active scholarship, including presentations at departmental Tuesday seminars and regional meetings, is encouraged.
