Description

The Bone and Soft Tissue Pathology Fellowship is a one-year program based at the University of Washington Medical Center. The training program exposes the fellow to a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis of bone and soft tissue disorders. In-house ancillary studies are utilized extensively and include immunohistochemistry, cytogenetic, and molecular genetic techniques. Specific training in molecular/cytogenomic testing, as it relates to bone and soft tissue disorders is provided. The bone and soft tissue pathology service supports a large multidisciplinary group including surgery, oncology, radiation therapy, radiology, and nuclear medicine. There is a large diversity of in house as well as consult material. The fellow will be responsible for reviewing all clinical material, ancillary tests, and radiological studies, and will lead weekly multidisciplinary sarcoma conferences. Clinicopathological and translational research is strongly encouraged. 1 position/year
