Shaping the Future of Pediatric Pathology at Cincinnati Children’s
The Pediatric Pathology Fellowship at Cincinnati Children’s is a highly intensive, one-year ACGME-accredited training program aimed at developing highly skilled, well-rounded pediatric pathologists.
As a nationally-ranked medical center, Cincinnati Children’s pathologists work on the most complex pediatric, perinatal and fetal pathology cases—and so do our fellows. Our program is one of the largest in the country, delivering extensive, high-level experience in the full range of pediatric and clinical pathology—from oncopathology and neuropathology to molecular and digital pathology.
We offer up to three fellowship positions each year and an additional position for our non-standard pediatric and perinatal autopsy pathology program.
Strength in Numbers—and Complexity
The strength of our program lies in the diversity and volume of cases studied by our fellows. Annually, we see over 15,000 surgical pathology specimens, 1,500 cytology cases and over 1,000 outside pediatric surgical consultation cases. We are also one of the largest pediatric autopsy pathology services in the country, with over 140 perinatal and pediatric autopsy cases each year.
Immersive Curriculum
The Pediatric Pathology Fellowship program offers a structured, immersive curriculum that gives fellows comprehensive exposure to all major areas of pediatric pathology within a collaborative academic environment. The program combines core service rotations with hands-on training in pediatric surgical and autopsy cases, complemented by participation in interdisciplinary conferences.
Through the guidance of a faculty dedicated to mentorship, scientific innovation and collaborative practice, our fellows leave the program equipped with the technical expertise and communication skills necessary for accurate and timely diagnoses within a collaborative healthcare environment.
