Hi there. I am an overseas asian doc doing training(residency) in Anatomical(histopathology) Pathology in UK. I am interested to do fellowship in US for 1-2 years. Can anyone, esp any IMG, please give me an idea about how easy/difficult it could be to get into a US fellowship training in Pathology if someone is trained outside US(e.g., UK). Will I need USMLE, and thus ECFMG to be eligible for applying? If accepted will it be a paid fellowship or I will have to look for my own sponsorship? Is it only open to those pathologists trained in US??

maminr, sorry I can't be more helpful, but I suspect the best place to look for information like this is through FRIEDA (Google that) and then through individual fellowship program/institutional websites.

I think it will be a long process (including writing all USMLE Steps, visa application and timing to catch the match cycle for the appropriate year) but the fellowship will be a paid position.

US institutions tend to prefer applicants with US clinical experience. You will probably recognize the significance of that.

When I was at Brigham, Fletcher had an Irish citizen (a cute blonde 😍 ) as his fellow. Dunno how it works, would help if you were stunningly gorgeous I imagine.

Hmm. I had not thought of that. You mean with stilettoed legs up to my armpits and pouty lips and blonde hair falling in waves to my cute little butt, I really didn't need to go through all that med school??
