Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellowship

Overview.
Recently the American Board of Pathology created a new subspecialty of "Molecular Genetic Pathology". This is a joint effort of the ABP and the American Board of Medical Genetics. Because of the newness of this subspecialty, it is possible to obtain Board certification either through experience through 2006 (for details, click here) or by taking an ACGME-approved fellowship. Yale does not currently offer an ACGME approved program but supports certification by experience - indeed three individuals have been so certified over the last three years and there a fellow is in training for 2004-05. Training is a joint effort of the Departments of Laboratory Medicine, Pathology and Genetics at the Yale School of Medicine. Dr. Jeffrey Sklar is Director of the program, which includes for faculty Drs. Brian Smith, J Greg Howe, Henry Rinder, Pei Hui, Jose Costa, Michael Hodsdon, Mazin Qumsiyeh, and Allen Bale. Fellows spend two years in training, one year doing predominantly clinical work in all major subareas of molecular genetic pathology (Mendelian disorders, immunology, neoplasia, hematology, infectious diseases) and a second research year. Individuals previously certified through their Yale experience now hold academic positions at Yale, Harvard and the University of Bolognia. Candidates should have completed their training in AP, CP, AP/CP or medical genetics (ABMG) at the time of commencing the fellowship. Inquiries should be addressed to Ms. Susan Durant, the Program Coordinator.
