This one-year accredited program is designed to provide advanced training in all major aspects of diagnostic surgical pathology including: Breast, Head and Neck, Endocrine, Gynecologic, Gastrointestinal/Pancreatic, Liver, Thoracic, Genitourinary, Bone and Soft Tissue and Heart.
The program also offers elective concentrated training in chosen subspecialities to further the fellow’s interests and career goals.
Approximately 41,000 in-house surgical specimens are evaluated each year. The University of Kansas has a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center serving a complex patient population.
Fellows have an in-depth experience with comprehensive case sign-outs, intra-operative/frozen section consultations and review of outside consultations. After a training period, fellows are expected to assume graded, sign-out responsibilities under supervision.
