UCLA General Surgical Pathology Fellowship
2026-2027 Academic Year
Program Description
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is currently accepting applications for its one-year, non-ACGME accredited fellowship in General Surgical Pathology, for the 2026-2027 academic year.
The General Surgical Pathology fellows rotate through the equivalent of month-long assignments at a senior or supervisorial level at two different hospitals. The year is intended to provide the fellow with the last layer of confidence necessary to practice surgical pathology independently in a variety of settings from small community hospitals to large community hospitals or academic institutions. As a Junior Attending at the main campus (UCLA Center for Health Sciences/Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center), the fellow will rotate on different surgical pathology subspecialty services, previewing cases with the residents on service, including challenging outside consult cases, and presenting cases to attendings, ready to be finalized. The fellow independently orders ancillary studies as appropriate. Additional duties include presenting at tumor boards, supervising/teaching residents in the gross room and in the preparation of their write ups, and preparing telepathology consult cases. The fellow will also rotate for the equivalent of 2-3 months at Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center (a 281-bed hospital with a large surgical oncology division), which provides exposure to a true general surgical pathology practice setting in a busy hybrid community-academic hospital. At Santa Monica, the fellow reviews and writes up all surgical excision cases, biopsies, and cytology cases independently. Cases are general in scope, ranging daily from small biopsies to small excisions to large oncologic resection cases. At both the main campus and Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center, the expectation is that the fellow will be able to prepare a thorough and final report on most cases, double scoping (consulting) with attendings on a minority of cases which require consultation before finalization.
In addition, during a 4-week frozen section rotation at The Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, the fellow will serve as the frozen section/gross room supervisor to oversee the preparation, interpretation, and communication of intraoperative consults, and will guide residents and pathology assistants in the gross analysis and processing of specimens for frozen section and tissue procurement.
As part of graduated responsibility, the fellow will have the opportunity to independently sign-out clinical cases and perform intraoperative/frozen section consultations when the fellow is ready. There will be a proctoring process in place to determine the fellow’s readiness to have these clinical privileges, and the expectation is that all fellows will progress to independent sign-out by the end of their fellowship.
Fellows are also granted 4-8 weeks of elective time to pursue additional training in any subspecialty areas of interest (e.g., lymphoma, cytology/FNA) and/or to pursue research.
