Breast Pathology Fellowship

Stanford University School of Medicine, Department of Pathology, is currently accepting applications for its Breast Pathology Fellowship for the 2027–2028 academic year.

With the high level of complexity of breast pathology cases and the evolving role of the pathologist as a “diagnostic oncologist,” breast pathology has become a highly desirable area for pathologists to have specialty expertise. At Stanford we offer a dedicated ACGME-accredited Breast Pathology Fellowship that will provide in-depth training in breast pathology with the goal of becoming a specialist in the field. The Stanford Breast Pathology Service is rich with both routine breast pathology (including ancillary studies like HER2 FISH testing) and advanced consultative material to learn from.

The breast pathology fellow will also have opportunities for learning in a multidisciplinary setting from leaders in the field of breast oncology, surgery, imaging, and radiation oncology. Graduated responsibility opportunities include a Junior Attending rotation, presenting at breast tumor boards, teaching opportunities, and service as a point person and consultant on breast-pathology-related issues. Elective and research time can be used to pursue additional subspecialty training in other areas (such as molecular pathology) or to work on research projects. Departmental resources and support are available for clinicopathologic and translational research projects.
