Description

The UCSD Neuropathology Fellowship has an unexpected opening for July 2025-June 2027 and an opening for 2026-2028.

The strengths of the program include the participating teaching faculty with subspecialty expertise in pediatric, forensic, neuromuscular, ophthalmic, tumor, and neurodegenerative pathology, and research scientists, including basic and physician-scientists, who have active laboratory research programs and are recognized experts in their respective fields. The program also enjoys an outstanding relationship with the departments of Neurosciences and Neurosurgery with respect to daily interactions associated with patient care activities, teaching conferences, and rotations of postgraduate trainees in neuropathology. Such a relationship enriches the clinical neuroscience educational environment of the training program. The scope and quality of the clinical case material results from the four sites providing teaching materials, including the UC hospitals, the VA San Diego Medical Center, Rady Children’s Hospital, and the San Diego County Medical Examiner. The program curriculum also emphasizes neuroscience research training by utilizing one of the most outstanding neuroscience research environments in the U.S.

It is uniquely strengthened by the outstanding affiliated institutes and centers, including the Salk Institute, the UCSD Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, the Scripps Research Institute, the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, the Burnham Institute, and the Veterans Administration Medical Center.

Requirements

Applicants must have completed two years of anatomic pathology residency training and are expected to be eligible for certification by the American Board of Pathology. Applicants for combined AP/NP training are expected to meet the requirements for the overall residency program.
