Fellowship Programs | Pathology & Laboratory Medicine

Fellowship training in Subspecialties of Anatomic Pathology is available to trainees who are eligible for American Board of Pathology (ABP) certification, as well as training in Non-Accredited subspecialties, which does not lead to certification by the American Board of Pathology (ABP). All applicants for fellowships must be board eligible in either AP (3 years), or combined AP/CP (4 years). All fellows require full medical licensure in New York State.

All fellowships at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medicine undergo rigorous curriculum review and oversight by the institutional Graduate Medical Education Committee.

All fellows benefit from exposure to our world-renowned faculty and pathology material, and are involved in review of consultation material, clinicopathologic correlation and conferences, as well as participation in resident teaching and a clinical and/or basic science research project. As training progresses, the fellows obtain greater responsibility and independence.
