Description

The Neuropathology Fellowship at University of Washington School of Medicine is a two-year ACGME-accredited training program .  Staffed by faculty in the University of Washington Affiliated Hospital system and providing over 400 autopsies and 1,400 neurosurgical specimens each year, the program is designed to provide materials, facilities and experiences in various normal and abnormal aspects of the central and peripheral nervous system, skeletal muscle system and ocular system. The faculty's research interests include developmental neurobiology, cerebrovascular disease, epilepsy, neurotoxicology, neurodegeneration, trauma, and neoplasia. The first year of fellowship offers extensive “hands-on” clinical experience while the second year offers a varied experience when opportunities for extensive protected time for research can be negotiated for suitable trainees. 1 position/year; 2 year program
