Fellows benefit from high case volumes, covering routine to complex diagnostic cases, and work with a team of GI-focused faculty renowned for both clinical and academic expertise. This invaluable caseload exposure, coupled with a structured mentorship program, allows fellows to gain confidence in diagnosing and managing a full spectrum of GI pathologies.
Our fellowship’s unique structure includes dedicated training in molecular pathology and informatics, along with an option for graduated case sign-out responsibility, enabling fellows to transition smoothly into independent practice. Fellows participate actively in tumor boards, interdisciplinary conferences, and impactful research projects that prepare them for clinical leadership. The program also fosters extensive collaboration across specialties, ensuring that our fellows become integral members of a multidisciplinary team that delivers tailored, patient-centered care.
Missouri’s healthcare landscape underscores the importance of highly skilled GI pathologists, and our fellowship addresses this need with a commitment to clinical excellence, education, and research. With our program’s comprehensive training, extensive collaborative network, and a supportive academic environment, we empower fellows to excel and make a profound impact on patient care in Missouri and beyond.
