Molecular Genetic Pathology: The Molecular Genetic Pathology fellowship program is a joint undertaking between the Divisions of Anatomic and Molecular Pathology, Laboratory and Genomic Medicine, and Neuropathology. The fellowship offers 1 year positions (1 clinical year) as well as 3 year positions (1 clinical year followed by 2 research years). The fellowship is accredited by the ACGME, and is designed to meet the needs of individuals interested in a career in academic pathology focused on the application of molecular genetic techniques in basic science, translational, or clinical research settings. Upon completion of the program, the fellow will have the skills necessary to pass the American Board of Pathology subspecialty exam in Molecular Genetic Pathology. Applicants must be Board certified/Board eligible in Anatomic and/or Clinical Pathology, or Medical Genetics, and meet the requirements for medical licensure in Missouri.
