Surgical Pathology Fellowship at Olive View
Now available is a one-year fellowship in general Surgical Pathology at the UCLA-affiliated Olive View-UCLA Medical Center in nearby Sylmar, California. The fellow's primary responsibilities include signing out of surgical cases, frozen section diagnosis and occasional autopsies. The program offers excellent experience in fine needle aspiration. After three months, the fellow functions as an attending pathologist by signing out cases with gradually increasing responsibility. With UCLA residents and attending staff of five, there are many opportunities for interacting with staff and direct teaching. In addition, the county hospital provides exposure to many unusual and rare cases. There is also ample opportunity for attending and organizing specialty conferences. Research and study time is available, including elective time in selected subspecialty areas. The rotations are predominantly at the Olive View/UCLA Hospital with the option to do electives at other hospitals including the UCLA main campus. This fellowship is directed by Dr. Nora Ostrzega.
