The Breast and Breast/GYN Pathology position at the University of Rochester Medical Center is a one-year program that provides thorough exposure to diagnostic surgical pathology and multidisciplinary management of Breast and GYN disease. The main objective of the program is for the instructor to develop proficient diagnostic skills, an in-depth understanding of the implications of pathologic diagnoses in the
management of cancer patients and a unique translational research experience. The instructor takes an active role in all diagnostic services either in Breast or in Breast and GYN, including intraoperative gross examinations, frozen sections and sign out of in-house and outside consultations. Based on evaluation of the candidate’s proficiency and performance, an opportunity for independent sign out is possible. To
develop an insight into the multidisciplinary team approach to patient care, the instructor also participates at weekly multidisciplinary conferences and rotates in other disciplines including imaging, surgery, medical oncology and radiation oncology at our Wilmot Cancer Institute. Elective rotations in other pathology subspecialties are also available for those interested. Clinical and/or translational research
projects are tailored to meet the individual's interests and the instructor is encouraged to present his/her work at a national meeting.
