Bone & Soft Tissue Pathology Fellowship
Openings for July 2011
The bone and soft tissue pathology fellowship has openings for July 2011. The program is based at UPMC-Shadyside, and receives over 5000 specimen and consultations from all UPMC hospitals. The fellowship program offers a broad-based experience in benign and malignant soft tissue and bone lesions, and stresses the importance of ancillary techniques such as immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, molecular and cytogenetic investigations, often required for diagnosis of these lesions. The bone and soft tissue section is very well supported in these areas and has three pathologists deeply interested in this subspeciality.
The fellowship is a nine month rotation devoted to this subspeciality and a three month elective rotation in related molecular diagnostics, routine and molecular cytogenetics, informatics and quality assurance. The precise duration of each of the elective rotations is flexible. The fellow will be involved in a daily case sign out and intra operative consultations with the bone/soft tissue pathologist. The fellow is also expected to participate in the teaching of medical students and pathology residents. The fellowship program also emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach required for the diagnosis of these tumors, and the fellow is expected to actively participate in orthopaedic oncology teaching conferences. The fellow will also interact with surgical and medical oncologists, and the Department of Radiology based at UPMC Shadyside and the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute. The bone and soft tissue pathology fellows will take advantage of the department's informatics resources including image archiving, electronic medical record and the World Wide Web. Fellows are expected to undertake at least one investigational project and are strongly encouraged to publish and present at national meetings. The nature of the project will depend on the fellow's interest and the amount of time they wish to devote to it. The fellowship program has been accredited by the ACGME for 5 years (through 2013).

Neuropathology Fellowship
Accepting applications for 2011 and later
The two-year accredited neuropathology program will prepare the fellow for the American Board of Pathology subspecialty examination in neuropathology with training in diagnostic and experimental neuropathology. Gross and microscopic examination of adult and pediatric CNS obtained at autopsy, CSF cytology, forensic neuropathology, neuromuscular pathology and neurosurgical specimens provides extensive “hands on” experience. LAC+USC Medical Center, Norris Cancer Center, the USC University Hospital, and the LA County Coroners provide a rich training environment.
Interactions on the service and at teaching conferences with pathology, neurology, neurosurgery and neuroradiology residents enhance clinical-pathological correlations. Rotations include exposure to neuromuscular pathology at the Neuromuscular Center at Good Samaritan Hospital, and pediatric neuropathology conferences at Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.
Understanding mechanisms of disease is integrated through comprehensive lectures on neuroanatomy and neurohistology and a core curriculum on diseases of the nervous system. Opportunities for basic research in cell and molecular neurobiology are available. Major research efforts focus on degenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and AIDS, stem cell biology, as well as neuropathology of the visual system. An interface with bioengineering and input from seminars at the Zilkha Neurogenetic Institute, Institute for Genetic Medicine and Andrus Gerontology Center at USC and from the nearby California Institute of Technology provide a stimulating intellectual environment for the fellow.
Requirements: Candidates must have completed a residency in anatomic pathology or a residency in neurology plus one year of anatomic pathology.
Stipends: Support will be commensurate with the applicant’s level of training.
Submission of early applications by January 1 of the preceding year is encouraged. Fellowship appointments are for the following academic year starting July 1.

Position open for 2010
The Neuropathology Division at Washington University has a longstanding program dedicated to providing excellence in clinical service, research, and teaching. The fellowship position is one of the few in the country to consistently fill and it has been accredited for over 25 years. Our faculty includes nationally and internationally recognized experts with a wide range of both clinical and basic research interests, particularly neoplastic, neurodegenerative, peripheral nerve, and muscle neuropathology. The goal of the neuropathology training program is to prepare our fellows for all aspects of a highly successful career in academic neuropathology. One new fellow is accepted into the program each year.
At least two years of prior postgraduate training are required. Preference is given to individuals with two years of anatomic pathology training. The program requires a two-year commitment. During the first year, concentration is directed to the diagnostic aspects of neuropathology. In this period, the fellow gains familiarity with both common and rare neuropathological diseases, morphologic diagnosis, and ancillary techniques, such as immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, and molecular diagnostics. Approximately 2000 specimens come through the clinical service each year, including autopsy, surgical, and consultation material.
The second year is primarily for research. A wide spectrum of both clinical and neuroscience research opportunities exist within the division and the medical school environment. The second year offers the individual a chance to begin or expand upon a specific area of investigation with the aim of developing a viable, ongoing research program. Some fellows have extended their time in the lab and the program can be tailored to individual needs depending on the candidate’s long-term career goals, availability of an appropriate mentor, and funding. Prior fellows from Washington University have uniformly passed their Neuropathology Boards, secured desirable faculty positions, and pursued successful careers.
