Description
Mayo Clinic’s one-year Bone and Soft Tissue Pathology Fellowship in Rochester, Minnesota, provides intensive training in diagnosing benign and malignant bone and soft tissue tumors. Run within the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, the program prepares physicians for careers in academic or large private referral centers. Fellows review approximately 5,000 consultation cases annually, including clinical material and radiological studies, within a practice spanning surgery, oncology, radiation therapy, radiology, and nuclear medicine.
The fellowship combines clinical training with clinicopathological research. Trainees have access to immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, cytogenetics, molecular genetics, electron microscopy, and other diagnostic resources. Research training includes collaboration with clinical and research groups and an expectation to complete a project for submission for publication before finishing the fellowship.
