Does working with a surgical pathology fellow diminish the resident’s educational experience?
No. On the contrary, the surgical pathology fellow is a great educational resource for residents, particularly new residents. The resident and fellow have overlapping roles and work together to arrive at a diagnosis in the frozen section laboratory. Historically, a significant number of pathology residents at Mayo have gone on to complete the surgical pathology fellowship so they are in an excellent position to provide mentorship.
