Neuropathology Fellowship
The OHSU Department of Pathology offers an ACGME-accredited two year fellowship program in Neuropathology. Given the variable and changing roles of academic neuropathologists, applicants are encouraged to meet with the fellowship director to define their career objectives and training program. All fellows acquire clinical skills in adult and pediatric autopsy and surgical neuropathology, and neuromuscular pathology. The balance of clinical and research activities for each fellow is based on the individual's previous training and their development of diagnostic skills. The Neuropathology fellow is rapidly placed in charge of managing the clinical service under the supervision of the clinical faculty. Faculty supervision is rotated on a biweekly basis, exposing the fellow to different clinical and research perspectives.
The Neuropathology Section of the OHSU Department of Pathology is staffed by three neuropathologists. Other participating faculty members include a neuromuscular specialist, an ophthalmic pathologist, and forensic pathologists from the Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office.
The Neuropathology faculty members have research programs studying a variety of neurological diseases. The fellow may work with any of these individuals or other OHSU faculty (e.g. faculty in the departments of Neurosurgery, Radiology, Neurology, Neurosciences, Psychiatry).
