Head & Neck Pathology This two year fellowship program will provide applicants with a comprehensive exposure to surgical pathology of the head and neck. In addition, it will offer fellows rigorous training in basic and translational biomedical research specifically related to head and neck cancer. The training program is based within the Department of Pathology at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine and The University of Chicago Hospitals. The Department examines approximately 30,000 surgical specimens annually, of which 3000 are from the head and neck region. The University of Chicago is a major referral center for head and neck cancer as well as other pathologies associated with the head and neck. The fellow will participate in the sign-out of surgical and biopsy material and consultation cases. The fellow will also present pathology findings at the weekly head and neck tumor conference. Major ongoing NIH funded research programs in head and neck cancer at the University of Chicago focus on the biology, molecular diagnosis, prevention and treatment of this disease. |
