The Pediatric & Perinatal Fellowship Program at Children's Hospital of Michigan provides an intensive, high-quality, one-year ACGME-accredited training aiming at developing highly skilled pediatric & perinatal pathologists. We offer one fellowship position each year encompassing rotations in general pediatric surgical pathology, gastrointestinal pathology, perinatal pathology, and pediatric hematopathology. Elective time is available for clinical and/or research pursuits.

The strength of our program lies in the diversity of the cases. We have a busy pediatric gastrointestinal service, perinatal pathology service, and a robust heart and liver transplantation service. We pride ourselves in being part of a highly dedicated and collegial group of clinicians at Children’s Hospital of Michigan who strive to provide the best care possible to our patients.
