Pediatric Pathology Program
The Departments of Pathology at The Children's Hospital and the School of Medicine, University of Colorado Denver, offer a one year, ACGME-accredited fellowship in pediatric pathology. The program comprises pediatric surgical pathology, perinatal pathology, autopsy pathology, blood banking and transfusion medicine, clinical chemistry, hematology, microbiology, virology, flow cytometry, molecular diagnostics and electron microscopy. A combination of research and service activity is encouraged, however the fellowship year can be tailored to the fellow's intent to enter academic pathology or private practice. The Children's Hospital is a 298-bed freestanding hospital and is the major teaching site for the University's Department of Pediatrics and Pediatric surgical subspecialties. Its Department of Pathology processes approximately 7,200 surgical, 580 bone marrow, 2,600 cytology specimens, and 45 autopsies annually. The University Pathology Department processes more than 350 perinatal autopsies and placentas, predominantly from high-risk pregnancies. The combined pediatric pathology faculty consists of four pediatric pathologists, two neuropathologists, one gynecologic and perinatal pathologist, three clinical pathologists, and three PhD's. The close relationship between the University of Colorado Hospital and The Children's Hospital allows the fellow to draw upon expertise and resources in virtually every area of diagnostic and experimental pathology. The Children’s Hospital and the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine are both located at the Anschutz Medical Campus.
