Neuropathology Fellowship

    The Department of Pathology at the University of Utah School of Medicine offers an ACGME-accredited two-year fellowship program in Neuropathology. One position is available on an annual basis. Experience is provided at the University of Utah Hospital, Huntsman Cancer Institute, Primary Children’s Hospital, and the Office of the Medical Examiner.

    This fellowship is designed to give the fellows a broad experience in diagnostic neuropathology, with emphasis on surgical neuropathology but also with exposure to autopsy, forensic and neuromuscular neuropathology. A diverse patient population, as well as an active consultation service provides ample volumes of material, as well as a large diversity of diagnoses.

    The overall goal of the fellowship is to provide in-depth exposure to neuropathology with our faculty, Dr. Christian Davidson (Fellowship Director), Dr. Qinwen Mao (Director of Neuropathology), Dr. Andrew Guajardo (Forensic Medical Examiner), Dr. Nick Mamalis (Faculty in Ophthalmology), and Dr. Cheryl Palmer (Professor Emeritus in Pathology).

    This training program satisfies the requirements for the American Board of Pathology examination in Neuropathology.
