| Neuropathology Fellowship | |||||||||
| Program description: The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and UNC Hospitals offer a broadly based, two-year training program in diagnostic and experimental neuropathology. The program is fully accredited by the ACGME and is under the direction of full-time, board-certified neuropathologists. All aspects of diagnostic neuropathology are covered, including autopsy and surgical neuropathology, interpretation of muscle and nerve biopsies, and ophthalmic pathology. Diagnostic specimens are drawn from UNC Hospitals and an active outside consultation service. Trainees participate in a wide range of regularly scheduled conferences that stress clinico-pathologic correlation. There are considerable opportunities for gaining experience in teaching neuropathology. Weekly clinical neuroscience conferences encourage a close working relationship with the Neurology, Neurosurgery and Neuroradiology services. There are numerous research opportunities for the trainee, including the characterization of the molecular genetic mechanisms responsible for the heterogeneity of patient responses to cancer chemotherapy and the exploration of clinicopathologic correlations in nervous-system disease. | |||||||||
| Program requirements: Applicants must possess an M.D. degree and have at least two years of accredited residency training in anatomic pathology. | |||||||||
| Stipends: Fellowship stipends are based on the trainee's number of years of postdoctoral training and the current UNC Hospitals' Housestaff salary scale. | |||||||||
