Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School
Salary Source: InstitutionDuration: 1 year

The Selective Pathology GI fellowship is designed to serve as advanced training in the surgical pathology of the luminal gastrointestinal tract, liver, and pancreaticobiliary systems. The basis of this training lies in the receipt of approximately 23,000 cases per year, which includes approximately 15,000 endoscopically obtained mucosal biopsy specimens, 700 medical liver biopsies, and 200 transplant liver biopsies. Additionally, approximately 1,000 GI pathology cases per annum are received from outside institutions for consultation. Due to the academic and tertiary care nature of the institution, many of these cases are challenging and unusual, and provide the GI fellow with a unique opportunity for concentrated experience in GI pathology. The GI pathology faculty includes 7 subspecialty-trained attending pathologists, many of whom are nationally recognized for their contributions in their respective fields.

Two GI pathology fellows are recruited per academic year. Generally, the annual schedule is composed of 11 months of GI/liver pathology and 1 month of general surgical pathology in an elective area of the fellow’s choosing. Opportunities for additional time spent rotating in other areas of selective surgical pathology exist and are determined on a yearly basis in coordination with the other selective surgical pathology fellowship services.

Duration: One year

This is a one-year fellowship program designed to provide an in-depth training in gastrointestinal (GI), liver and pancreaticobiliary pathology in the tradition of Dr. Klaus Lewin. The importance of clinicopathological interaction for optimal diagnostic interpretation is stressed. The program historically has had a well-defined core of responsibilities outlined for fellows and has also allowed considerable flexibility for fellows to develop clinical and academic skills important for their career. The program faculty consists of a group of surgical pathologists with extensive subspecialty expertise.
The GI pathology service handles over 10,000 cases per year. The liver and pancreaticobiliary pathology training is fortified by the exposure to hundreds of liver transplants, a wide variety of non-transplant related liver diseases and a large volume of pancreaticobiliary biopsies and resections; and by the close interaction with hepatologists, endoscopists, transplant surgeons, pancreaticobiliary surgeons, and radiologists. Pediatric and adult diseases in both neoplastic and non-neoplastic pathology are represented. Fellows are well-supervised with graded responsibility, which includes “junior attending” status as the goal. Signing-out privileges will be granted during the second half of fellowship year if fellows have demonstrated diagnostic excellence.
Fellows are required to organize, present and attend weekly and monthly conferences dedicated to GI, liver and pancreaticobiliary diseases with extensive clinical contact. There is also a variety of local educational conferences available. The program flexibility allows for research and teaching activities, or if desired, broader clinical experience by fellows. There is an academic fund for fellows to attend national meetings or for educational materials. Fellows are encouraged to present their research at national meetings.
