Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, the flagship academic center of the Advocate Health system, is offering two One-year Fellowship / Instructor Positions in Surgical Pathology each year. We have an active academic surgical pathology department with approximately 45,000 general surgical specimens. Fellows have access to a full spectrum of subspecialty rotations and optional subspecialty focused training, and participate in outside consults and review of additional unusual cases as part of interinstitutional consensus conferences.

The instructor's primary responsibilities include signing out surgical cases, frozen section diagnosis, and leading tumor board conferences. Our subspecialty-based sign out program offers excellent experience in general surgical pathology training, emphasizing Breast, GYN, GI, GU, ENT and Lung pathology. The program features 6-9 months of progressive, independent sign-out, and 3 months of elective rotations to expand your subspecialty interests. We offer a flexible schedule, a very competitive salary, and a friendly, collegial environment. There is also the opportunity to participate in research and engage in our transition to digital pathology.
