Dermatopathology Fellowship

The ACGME-accredited Dermatopathology Fellowship Program of McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University is a joint effort of the departments of Dermatology and Pathology. We are committed to the training of excellent dermatopathologists who will eventually strive for continued dedication to and enrichment of the field.  We offer one fellowship position per year.

This is a one-year fellowship designed to provide pathologists or dermatologists with subspecialty competence in Dermatopathology.  The fellow will work in conjunction with clinical dermatologists, dermatopathologists and/or anatomic and clinical pathologists.   Fellows are exposed to a variety of dermatopathology subspecialties, special studies and techniques.   Research projects, teaching, publications and local and national presentations are encouraged and expected.  For our complete program listing, please refer to the FREIDA Online database.
