Description
The Society for Pediatric Pathology (SPP) and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center established this stipend to honor A. James McAdams, M.D., and expand access to specialized pediatric pathology training. It supports pediatric pathologists seeking expertise unavailable at their home institution and pathology residents interested in pediatric pathology whose institutions lack an accredited pediatric pathology fellowship program.
The stipend partially offsets travel and living expenses for a training visit to another institution. Pediatric pathologists pursue specialized training, while residents rotate at a children's hospital with a strong pediatric pathology experience. The program is intended to build expertise and support the applicant's career in pediatric pathology, rather than fund research.
