About The Position

The Emory Pathology PEACE Visiting Scholar Program is an educational initiative under the Partnership of Emory and Allies for Cancer and Education (PEACE) that welcomes pathologists and pathology trainees from institutions worldwide for a structured visit to Emory University’s Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. Visiting Scholars participate in general surgical pathology and or subspecialty sign out alongside Emory faculty to strengthen diagnostic skills and learn current best practices, with an emphasis on practical training they can take home to improve pathology services in their own countries and institutions. Focused experience in ancillary testing, including immunohistochemistry, molecular methods, and laboratory workflows, is available upon request, and scholars may also engage in translational research projects aligned with their interests with the goal of producing abstracts for pathology conferences.
