Eligibility for fellowship

Applications will be accepted from residents who have had two to four years of straight anatomic or clinical pathology training, from residents who have three to five years of combined anatomic and clinical pathology training, or from graduating medical students who wish to integrate subspecialty training with anatomic or clinical pathology residency training.

Certification requirements

Medical specialty certification in the United States is a voluntary process which serves multiple purposes for the trainee and the public.

Certification...

  • is one mission of the training program (to produce trainees who meet board eligibility criteria);
  • distinguishes a physician as someone with a distinct level of expertise;
  • provides more opportunities when applying for employment;
  • is a commitment to life-long improvement for providing the best patient care; and
  • elevates physicians into the ranks of doctors committed to the highest standards of healthcare.

For more information visit the American Board of Pathology for specifics on board certification requirements.

Interviews

We will use Zoom to interview candidates. The Fellowship Coordinator will contact the applicant to set up the interview. Orientation for all new fellows begins on July 1, so you must be available for that start date and be licensed in Iowa by June 30.
