The Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine offers a one-year accredited fellowship in Molecular Genetic Pathology that provides intensive training in all aspects of molecular diagnostics, including DNA and RNA analysis in cancers, genetic disorders, infectious disease, and identity testing.

Fellows will learn diagnostic skills during exposure to internal cases as well as a large number of referral cases sent to UCLA for consultation. The fellow interacts with Pathology and Laboratory Medicine residents, as well as fellows, residents and faculty in the Departments of Pediatrics, Medical Genetics and Hematology-Oncology, among others. The fellow participates in teaching, conferences, and genetics clinics. Fellows are required to develop scholarly or research activities. One fellowship position is offered each academic year.

These positions are open to applicants who have completed training in a US or Canadian ACGME-accredited AP/CP, AP-only, or CP-only residency program (applicant must be board-eligible or Board-certified).
