Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellowship
The Department of Pathology at Geisinger Medical Center is currently accepting applications for its Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellowship, with available positions for both the 2026 and 2027 academic years.
The Department of Laboratory Medicine at the Geisinger Medical Center, offers a one-year ACGME-approved Molecular Genetic Pathology (MGP) fellowship training. The Geisinger Molecular Laboratory performs 25,000 high-complexity molecular tests annually, including > 75 cases of next-generation sequencing (NGS) per week on hematologic and solid tumors. More than 7,000 medical genetics patients are seen at Geisinger Health System each year. Geisinger Mycode project carries out whole-exome sequencing in > 100,000 individuals. Our program also offers 4 weeks of medical genetics and genomics rotation with University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
Fellows will develop leadership and management skills in quality assurance and validation of new molecular assays. Fellows will participate in regular didactic lectures, tumor boards, conferences and journal clubs. Research is encouraged and strongly supported. Career mentoring is available. The program also is designed to prepare fellows to pass the MGP board exam.
