University of Wisconsin – Hans Popper Hepatopathology Society

This non-ACGME certified fellowship provides one full year of experience in diagnostic gastrointestinal, liver, pancreaticobiliary and transplant pathology. Cases include a wide spectrum of non-neoplastic, neoplastic and allograft pathology, received from the state-of-the-art UW Health Hepatobiliary Oncologic and Transplantation Surgical Services and the Digestive Health Center (close to 20,000 GI cases annually, including 450 medical/allograft liver biopsies, 250 extramural consultations and 575 pediatric GI cases). The service is staffed by 6 GI/Liver subspecialty consultants and additional general surgical pathologists, as needed. The program is designed to prepare the fellow for a successful career in academic medicine or private practice with a subspecialty focus.

The GI and Liver pathology fellow participates on the GI/Liver subspecialty services, undergoes a frozen section ‘hot seat’ rotation in general pathology and presents at 4 regional multidisciplinary tumor boards (pancreaticobiliary, colorectal, liver transplant and molecular), the medical liver biopsy conference and AP/ GI-liver journal club. Based on the candidate’s proficiency and performance, there may be opportunities for independent sign out and resident/medical student teaching. Elective time is also available, and the fellow is highly encouraged to participate in translational research projects related to GI and liver pathology, utilizing the services of the fully equipped TRIP labs. Overall, the fellowship is aimed at developing academic and leadership skills to thrive as an expert in GI/Liver pathology, in either academic medicine or private practice with a subspecialty focus.

The position has the possibility to be extended for an additional year.
