Description
Mayo Clinic’s Gastrointestinal and Liver Pathology Fellowship is a one-year program in Rochester, Minnesota, administered within the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology. It combines advanced diagnostic training with opportunities for basic science and clinicopathologic research. Fellows encounter routine and consultation cases, adult and pediatric specimens, liver transplant pathology, and resected gastrointestinal, pancreatic, and hepatobiliary cancers.
The program emphasizes hands-on learning, progressing from supervised case sign-out toward independent practice. Fellows collaborate with clinical colleagues through working conferences, tumor boards, teaching conferences, and multidisciplinary consultations. The clinical practice includes nearly 20,000 in-house endoscopic gastrointestinal biopsy cases annually and more than 4,000 liver biopsies. Research collaborations span gastroenterology, liver transplantation, gastrointestinal surgery, and gastrointestinal oncology.
