University  of  Washington       The   UW   Fellowship   was   renamed   GI   and   Hepatic   Pathology   beginning   in   2004   to   reflect  the  large  amount  of  liver  pathology  that  we  have  here,  as  we  are  the  academic   medical   center   and   the   only   liver   and   pancreas   transplant   center   for   the   5-­‐state   WWAMI  region  (Washington,  Wyoming,  Alaska,  Montana  and  Idaho).  We  do  over  125   liver  tranplants  per  year  and  have  great  longitudinal  follow-­‐up  of  our  patients,  many  of   whom  remain  somewhere  in  this  region.  We  also  have  over  300  liver  tumor  resections   per   year;   our   felllows   present   to   three   separate   weekly   conferences,   including   liver   transplant,  prmary  liver  tumor,  and  secondary  liver  tumor  clinics.  I  share  this  with  all   members   of   the   list,   in   case   your   residents   have   a   particular   interest   in   liver,   in   addition  to  the  tubular  GI  tract  (for  which  we  have  over  8000  endoscopic  procedures   per  year).     Application:       Matthew  M.  Yeh,  M.D.,  Ph.D.   Professor  of  Pathology   Adjunct  Professor  of  Medicine   Director,  Gastrointestinal  and  Hepatic  Pathology  Program  University  of  Washington   School  of  Medicine   1959  NE  Pacific  Street,  NE140D   Seattle,  WA  98195-­‐6100   Phone:  206-­‐598-­‐0008   Fax:  206-­‐598-­‐3803     Director:       Matthew  M.  Yeh,  M.D.,  Ph.D.
