Global Outreach Observership Program

The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine proudly supports pathology education and training within our impressive facility in Indianapolis. Our observership program accepts highly qualified international and national physicians seeking to further their pathology experiences. Our program offers physicians the opportunity to observe pathologists, residents and fellows in their day-to-day work responsibilities and educational sessions within our fast-paced laboratory.

An observership in our laboratory exposes physicians to four full weeks of clinical and didactic experiences. Observers must be responsible for their own lodging, travel, meals, visas, etc. While we do not charge for an observership, we also do not offer stipends.

Applications are now closed and will open again in January 2026. Thank you for your interest!
