Neuropathology Fellowship

Next Opening 2026-2028

This two-year ACGME-accredited fellowship provides broad and comprehensive training in surgical neuropathology, muscle and nerve biopsy and autopsy neuropathology. The University of Michigan Health System is a busy tertiary referral center, which generates over 100,000 surgical specimens annually including over 1,300 surgical neuropathology specimens, more than 300 muscle, and nerve biopsies, and CSF cytologic specimens in addition to a robust consultation service. We have a busy brain autopsy service with more than 100 brain examinations a year, including medical, medicolegal cases, neurodegenerative and pediatric cases. The broad range of clinical and research interests of the faculty provide fellows with extensive clinical experience and many opportunities to engage in collaborative research projects. In addition, fellows benefit from the diverse clinical and research activities within division, department, and medical school. The second year of the fellowship will be focused on identification and completion of a research project utilizing state of the art approaches to answer clinical, translational or cellular and molecular questions.
