The Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellowship at Mayo Clinic's campus in Rochester, Minnesota, is a one- or two-year program. Based in Mayo Clinic's Genomics Laboratory, the fellowship provides experience in DNA testing for inherited diseases, as well as oncology and hematology. Optional training in other clinical laboratories that utilize molecular diagnostics is available to you. Your allocation of time between clinical applications and research is also flexible.

For M.D.s who are already board-certified in pathology or medical genetics, this training provides eligibility to take the examination in molecular genetic pathology offered by the American Board of Pathology (ABP).

Accreditation

This fellowship is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
