Participation by the fellow will depend upon the nature of the conference. It is expected that the fellow will present any case that he/she has signed out, including autopsies and surgicals, with full responsibility for demonstrating the morphologic findings and adding correlative comments. The fellow may be asked to prepare and present an in depth topical review at the pediatric mortality conference. The fellow at the morning pediatric intake rounds using real time image projection may demonstrate current surgical biopsy material.
