Gastrointestinal/Liver Pathology Fellowship

The fellowship position for 2025-2026 has been filled.
The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine of NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine offers a one-year fellowship in Gastrointestinal Pathology focusing on the characterization of neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and liver. The fellowship emphasizes a multidisciplinary team approach to patient management as well as clinicopathologic and translational research. A wealth of interesting and challenging in-house and consultation case materials are available for study, as are comprehensive slide study sets.  The Gastrointestinal Pathology team is fully subspecialized and includes full-time faculty members devoted exclusively to gastrointestinal, pancreatic, and hepatic pathology, as well as additional faculty who participate on the service. Case materials cover the full range of gastrointestinal diseases, including a substantial amount of non-neoplastic and transplant hepatic pathology. The gastrointestinal pathology fellow reviews slides and prepares reports for selected in-house and consultation cases with increasing independence as the fellowship progresses. Fellows are significantly involved in teaching pathology residents and medical students.
