Surgical Pathology and Surgical Pathology Subspecialties Fellowship Recruitment

For the second year, many surgical pathology programs will adopt a Unified Approach to fellowship recruitment in 2023, for 2025-26 fellowship positions.  The goal of the Unified Approach is to address resident desire for a more standardized, later, recruitment timeline, so applicants can have more time to choose their subspecialty and interview at all programs that interest them before being asked to commit to a training program.  

This year, most general/oncologic surgical pathology and flexible subspecialty programs, most gynecologic or gynecologic and breast pathology programs, and all bone and soft tissue pathology programs will participate, as well as several programs from other subspecialties.

Elements of The 2025-2026 Unified Approach Include:

  • Common timeline for fellowship offers
    • Interviews begin August 14, 2023
    • First offers can be made October 2, 2023 beginning at 11am ET (10am CT, 9am MT, 8am PT) 
    • All offers must be valid for at least 24 hours
  • Code of conduct
  • Public listing of 2025-2026 participating programs is posted further below.
  • Strongly encourage virtual interviews (voluntary)
  • Encourage use of common application form (voluntary)
