Intensive training is provided in both analytical and clinical aspects of automated and manual chemistry, special chemistry, urine chemistry, endocrinology and toxicology. Research activity in the development lab is an integral part of the program. The trainee will contribute to the daily operation of the laboratory, and thus, gain practical experience in laboratory management and quality control techniques. Fellows, residents, and graduate students participate in formal lectures and seminars in clinical chemistry. The neuropathology fellowship provides intensive clinical training with the aim of preparing participants for Board Certification.
Material is reviewed with our staff of three neuropathologists.
Training in electron microscopy and muscle-histochemistry are intrinsic parts of the program. Research opportunities are available in clinical neuropathology and other neuroscience related projects. This fellowship provides intensive training in both surgical and cytopathology with a correlation between the two disciplines. It is aimed at those who have fulfilled a standard pathology residency of five years and wish to specialize in surgical and cytopathology. Emphasis is placed on the handling of critical biopsy material and complex specimens with an opportunity to provide frozen section coverage.
