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.

Missouri, Washington University School of Medicine-Molecular Genetic (opening for 2011) [#1662]
New York, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center-Molecular Genetic
Openings for July 2010
The MSKCC Molecular Diagnostics Fellowship has an opening for July 2010. This is a 12-month fellowship for M.D. pathology trainees, focusing on the application of molecular diagnostic techniques to the diagnosis of cancer, inherited disorders, and infectious diseases.
There are two areas of emphasis, the development of new diagnostic assays and research in cancer-related molecular diagnostics. The program is designed for the education of two fellows per year. Fellows will gain exceptional training in cancer-related somatic and germline genetic testing. Although the patient population reflects that of a comprehensive adult and pediatric cancer center, the volume and variety of molecular testing for somatic and inherited genetic alterations and infectious diseases provides ample material to become competent in all types of molecular genetic pathology testing. In addition, a very active clinical load in molecular monitoring of bone marrow transplant engraftment provides exposure to key aspects of identity testing.
The fellows participate in daily diagnostic activities, review the clinical histories, pathology reports (and slides, if indicated), and prior molecular genetic results, and assist in the case sign out under the supervision of the Attendings. They develop research projects in applied cancer-related molecular diagnostics and help in the set up and validation of new assays, both of which provide opportunities for subsequent publication.
