Aims Statement

The Breast Pathology Program provides a comprehensive one-year program to educate fellows to become excellent practitioners in breast pathology by training the fellow in medical knowledge, communication skills, patient care, and professionalism. The program aims to train fellows to develop expertise in breast pathology and encourage inquisitiveness for lifelong learning in academia or private practice.

Overview

Our ACGME-accredited Selective Pathology-Breast fellowship covers two major hospitals, William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital (CUH) and Parkland Hospital. The Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center at UT Southwestern Medical Center, the only NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in North Texas, is a major center for breast oncology. There is a significant volume of breast specimens and experienced breast pathology faculty. Comprehensive training is offered with in-depth exposure to all aspects of the specialty. The fellow is given graduated responsibility for handling cases. In addition to clinical service, there is dedicated research and elective time as well as training in Her2 FISH. The fellow is expected to participate in independent and collaborative research, including the initiation and completion of at least one research project during the fellowship.
