Non-profit organization committed to improvement and dissemination of knowledge regarding the pathology and pathophysiology of renal disease

The Department of Pathology at Yale University School of Medicine is currently seeking applicants for a fellowship position in combined renal and genitourinary pathology starting July 1, 2022. The Renal & Genitourinary Pathology fellowship program at Yale is a one-year fellowship program that aims to provide outstanding training in diagnostic pathology of medical renal biopsies and genitourinary tumor biopsies. The fellowship training is integrated in both the renal and genitourinary pathology services at Yale, that are directed by Gilbert Moeckel, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Pathology and Director, Renal Pathology and Electron Microscopy Laboratory and Peter Humphrey, MD, Ph.D., Professor of Pathology, Director of Genitourinary Pathology. During the 12 months of training, the fellow will be involved in the diagnostic assessment of 1100 kidney/EM and 1200 genitourinary specimens.

The fellow will be involved in teaching Yale medical students and pathology residents the foundation of renal pathology and will present kidney biopsy cases at the Nephrology CPC conferences. The fellow will also present cases at the genitourinary tumor board meeting and will give didactic conferences to the urology residents as part of the urology department teaching series. The fellow will be further encouraged to prepare clinically oriented research papers, usually in the format of case reports, for publication. The qualified fellowship applicant should have a minimum of three years training in an ACGME accredited anatomic or four years in a combined anatomic/clinical pathology residency program.
