Description
Mayo Clinic’s Bone and Soft Tissue Pathology Fellowship provides one year of intensive training in Rochester, Minnesota, within the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology. The program prepares physicians for careers in academic or large private referral centers through a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing benign and malignant bone and soft tissue tumors. Fellows review approximately 5,000 consultation cases annually, including clinical material and radiological studies, and work alongside specialists in surgery, oncology, radiation therapy, radiology, and nuclear medicine.
Clinicopathological research is strongly encouraged. Fellows have access to extensive diagnostic and research resources, including immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, cytogenetics, molecular genetics, electron microscopy, FISH, and RT-PCR. Training combines consultation work, complex internal cases, interdisciplinary conferences, and faculty mentorship.
