The Michael J. Gaffey Medical Student Fellowship in Pathology<\/h3>\n

Description:<\/h4>\n

This special, one-year-long fellowship offered by the Department of Pathology provides medical students the opportunity to increase their knowledge of Pathology and to understand the role of diagnostic Pathology in patient care. Working closely with the Pathology faculty and housestaff, the fellow will rotate through the diagnostic Pathology clinical services, with particular emphasis on Surgical Pathology and Autopsy Pathology. During these rotations, the fellow will receive training and responsibilities similar to those of a first-year resident. In addition, part of the fellowship may be spent in a research project, under faculty guidance, in disease etiology or diagnosis. Upon completion of this program, the student fellows will have greatly expanded their knowledge of Pathology and gained an understanding of the fundamental role that Pathology serves in patient care.<\/p>\n

Requirements:<\/h4>\n

Open to medical students who have successfully completed their second or third year at a U.S. or Canadian LCME-accredited medical school.<\/p>\n

Stipend:<\/h4>\n

We will offer a stipend of $24,000\/year. In addition, the department will pay student fees and health insurance and provide an expense account for conference attendance and textbooks.<\/p>\n

Applications:<\/h4>\n

Please submit the completed application<\/a>, curriculum vitae, medical school transcripts and, if available, scores from USMLE, Part 1, to:<\/p>\n
