The Division of Anatomic Pathology at the University of Alabama Medical Center, Birmingham, offers a one-year fellowship experience in GI tract, liver, pancreas and biliary tract. The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Surgical Pathology laboratory performs approximately 50,000 surgical cases yearly, of which 25% are GI cases. Our robust liver transplant program provides the fellow with numerous GI cases that complement the junior faculty experience. There are multiple interdisciplinary GI conferences at UAB (including GI/Hepatobiliary Oncology, Transplant/Medical Liver Conference among others) in which fellows may actively participate. Sign-out privileges are also anticipated for fellows with appropriate qualifications for both routine and frozen section services. Fellows are encouraged to participate in ongoing basic, translational or applied research projects in collaboration with the more than two dozen faculty members in the Division, leading to publications and presentations at national meetings. Rotations are entirely at the University of Alabama Hospital. The program is optimized with structural didactic lectures and slide sessions relevant to daily practice. For those having an interest in Pediatric Surgical Pathology, a selected rotation at Children’s of Alabama (adjacent to UAB Hospital) is possible.
