Program Description:
The Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellowship in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Cedars Sinai Medical Center provides a funded ACGME-accredited fellowship position with a unique opportunity to combine state of the art molecular pathology with hands-on exposure to the clinical laboratory, clinical genetics, cytogenetics and translational research. The Molecular Pathology Laboratory combines single gene tests and next-generation sequencing, with a focus on precision medicine for oncology, but also provides exposure to inherited and infectious disease. The Cytogenetics Laboratory is uniquely integrated with the Molecular Division and fellows participate in an integrated daily sign-out. The Cytogenetics Laboratory offers a broad range of testing which includes prenatal and postnatal diagnostics, and oncology testing by karyotype, FISH and chromosomal microarray. With an excellent ratio of faculty to trainees, there is the opportunity to observe different approaches to clinical evaluation and to receive a high level of individualized mentorship. In addition, electives at UCLA and at the Los Angeles VA are available to further complement the offerings at Cedars-Sinai.

Fellow Responsibilities and Translational Research Opportunities:
In addition to daily routine sign-out, the fellow has hands-on experience in the laboratory with current assays and is required to develop a new clinical test during the course of the fellowship. As fellows gain experience, they act as junior attending with participation in all aspects of laboratory management including test development, validation, clinical interpretation, reporting, and ongoing proficiency testing/CAP preparedness and management.

The wide scope of patient material in the pathology department and the Division's relationship with the Biobank & Translational Research Core and physician-scientists in a large number of departments provides a variety of opportunities for fellows to engage in clinical or bench research and develop their own projects of interest. This is facilitated by the Cedars-Sinai Clinical Scholars Program, which provides formal training in biostatistics, scientific ethics, grant writing and approaches to clinical research and personalized medicine.

Due to the high volume and diversity of cases, the fellow will gain extensive diagnostic experience in the field of hematopathology, including uncommon disease entities, such as mature T-cell and NK-cell neoplasms and immunodeficiency associated lymphoproliferative disorders. The fellow's responsibilities are broad and an increasingly independent approach to case work-up is encouraged. The fellow is regarded as the initial pathologist on all cases and will write pathology reports integrating morphologic description and all ancillary studies (molecular, cytogenetic, and flow cytometric results). The fellow is seen as the primary contact for referring pathologists and will be working closely with the clinical hematology/oncology faculty, gaining insights into the clinical management of patients.

The fellows present weekly at the lymphoma and bone marrow transplant conferences and monthly at cytogenetics and molecular correlation conferences and journal clubs. The fellows are expected to participate in hematopathology-related translational projects, for which funding is provided. Trainees with strong basic research interests will be able to choose among many outstanding research laboratories both within and outside the Department of Pathology and Immunology, and will be part of a stimulating and collegial research community with top-notch facilities and resources.

In summary, this program provides a strong basis for clinical practice including challenging cases in both adult and pediatric hematopathology, as well as opportunities for cutting-edge basic and translational research. Upon completion of the program, the fellow will have the necessary skills and experience to successfully pursue a clinical and/or academic career in hematopathology.

New York, University of Rochester-Breast



University of Rochester Medical Center /
Breast Pathology Fellowship

Openings for 2018-19

Description: The Breast Pathology Fellowship at the University of Rochester Medical Center is a one year program that provides a thorough exposure to diagnostic surgical pathology of the breast as well as multidisciplinary management of breast disease. The main objective of the program is to provide the fellow with proficient diagnostic skills, in-depth understanding of the implications of pathologic diagnoses in the management of breast cancer patients, and a unique translational research experience. The fellow will conduct intraoperative gross examinations of breast specimens, sign out both in-house breast cases and consultation cases from outside clinics and hospitals, and discuss the cases at the weekly Multidisciplinary Breast Care Clinic Conference. The fellow will also have the opportunity to conduct clinical and/or translational research projects which will be tailored to meet the individual's interests. The breast pathology subspecialty is comprised of 5 breast pathologists under the leadership of Dr. David Hicks, an internationally recognized breast pathologist. Our subspecialty is committed to providing outstanding diagnostic services for excellent patient care and preparing the next generation of pathologists to be experts in the challenging field of breast pathology.

Requirements: Applicants must be board certified or eligible in Anatomic Pathology or Anatomic and Clinical Pathology and be eligible for a license to practice medicine in New York State.

Number of appointments: One position is available each academic year.

Responsibilities: The goal of the breast pathology fellowship program is to provide in depth clinical, research and teaching experience in the field of breast pathology so that at the end of the year, the fellow has achieved expertise in the field and is prepared to practice independently in either an academic or community hospital setting. This goal will be accomplished by offering a well-structured curriculum with responsibilities for trainees as follows:

1) Review and signout of breast cases: The fellow will be responsible for reviewing and dictating the breast cases (including consults and referrals from outside institutions) and signing out those cases with an attending breast pathologist on a daily basis. This includes those breast cases which are not handled by the daily resident assigned to biopsy/gross signout.

2) Intraoperative gross consultations: The fellow will participate in the evaluation of all breast surgical specimens submitted for intraoperative gross assessment under the supervision of an attending breast pathologist.

3) Reporting of biomarkers: The fellow will gradually develop expertise in interpreting and scoring the IHC results of estrogen and progesterone receptors and HER-2/neu overexpression by reviewing the IHC slides independently and signing out with the attending breast pathologist daily. He/she will also be trained in interpreting FISH results for HER-2/neu gene amplification.

4) Teach and supervise residents: The fellow will have an active role in teaching and supervising residents in the grossing room and will assist them in formulating gross and microscopic diagnoses when needed. He/she will prepare and give didactic lectures and unknown slide conferences for house staff and medical students when needed.

5) Multidisciplinary rotations: The fellow will have one week rotations in breast imaging, breast surgery, medical oncology and radiation oncology at the Comprehensive Breast Care Center at our Wilmot Cancer Institute. This will give him/her an insight into the significant role of the integrated multidisciplinary approach in treating breast cancer and will provide him/her with a better understanding of the clinical and management implications of pathologic diagnoses.

6) Multidisciplinary case conferences: The fellow will present the pathology findings at the weekly multidisciplinary case management conference. This is an excellent opportunity to interact with clinical colleagues and strengthen interpersonal communication skills.

7) Elective rotation: The fellow will be given an opportunity to rotate in a second subspecialty of his/her choice within the department, if requested.

Research: The breast pathology subspecialty is active in clinical, translational and collaborative research focused at understanding the biology and behavior of various types of breast cancers and associated high-risk lesions. The fellow is expected to participate in at least one clinico-pathological or translational research project during the year. He/she will be encouraged to present his/her work at any major breast pathology meeting and/or the annual USCAP meeting.

Community: Rochester is a midsize city in western New York with miles of lakeshore, endless summer festivals and winter sports. Located in the Finger Lakes Region, Rochester offers its residents a variety of outdoor activities. As the home for the internationally known Eastman School of Music, Rochester is also an ideal place for music lovers.

Stipends: Commensurate with the level of training.

Application: Applications should be submitted before December 31 of the previous year and must include the curriculum vitae, personal statement, three letters of recommendation and copies of USMLE scores.

Now accepting applications for positions for 2018-2019.

The fellow will gain experience in legal proceedings, including participating in mock trials with the local law schools as well as attending depositions and courtroom testimonies. The fellow will be directly involved with the in-house Lodox x-ray, neurology, laboratory, histology and radiology. Opportunities for research and publication are abundant.

This statewide Medical Examiner agency program offers exposure to a wide variety of forensic cases derived from a population of nearly 4 million persons. Case analysis occurs in daily morning meetings, weekly scheduled case discussions, a monthly didactic lecture series, and one-on-one guidance with the staff forensic pathologists. Many other conferences pertaining to a wide variety of pathology and forensic issues are available at the nearby University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and the University of Central Oklahoma Forensic Science Institute.

Forbes Magazine ranked Oklahoma as the number one recession-proof state in America. Home to several excellent universities and a winning NBA team, the Sooner State was honored for the stable economy, low unemployment rates, and affordable housing. In addition, Oklahoma City is one of the fastest growing cities in the United States and has a variety of activities to offer which include collegiate sports, professional basketball, museums and theatre.

Compensation
Resident applicants must be either board certified or eligible in AP and/or AP-CP (ABP). The salary is $100,000 plus generous state benefits. The fellow will have a private fully-equipped office and an educational fund of $1250 (to use for purchasing books or attending conferences). The state benefits include longevity payments, so that if the successful fellow is invited to join the staff, the fellowship year counts toward accrual.

Wisconsin, University of Wisconsin-Transfusion Medicine



University of Wisconsin
Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
Transfusion Medicine Fellowship
Opening for July 2017

The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is offering a 1-year ACGME accredited fellowship in Transfusion Medicine, starting July 2017. The hospital campus includes one of the largest renal transplant programs in the nation, a level-1 trauma service, the only NCI-Designated Cancer Center in the state, and the adjacent American Family Children's Hospital. The transfusion service provides over 30,000 blood products and over 650 non-stem cell therapeutic apheresis procedures per year including plasmapheresis, photopheresis and red blood cell exchange. Our training partner and robust blood supplier, the American Red Cross (ARC) Badger Chapter, is three miles away.

The graduate of our fellowship will be well-prepared for academic transfusion medicine practice and/or blood center medical directorship. About 25% of the fellowship is dedicated to research, and a second year research fellowship is also available. Sample projects include RBC genetics, RBC metabolomics and in vivo RBC tracer methodologies. About 20% of the fellowship is spent at the ARC. A pathology resident is on the service continuously throughout the year. The fellow is on call from home 20 weeks and provides support to the pathology resident on call. In addition to clinical experiential learning, organized curricula and self-assessments are also used for all aspects of training.

Madison is consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in the US, as it combines the family-friendliness of a smaller city with the cultural opportunities of a college town. Dane County airport is about a 20 minute drive from the hospital.

Applicants should fulfill the prerequisites for subspecialty certification as defined by the American Board of Pathology (ABP). For example, certification/eligibility in CP, AP/CP or another ABMS board (e.g. internal medicine, anesthesiology, OB/GYN, pediatrics, etc.).

Stipend will be commensurate with level of training.

Please submit completed 'Standardized Application for Pathology Fellowship', a current CV, a letter of interest referencing the 2017-18 Transfusion Medicine Fellowship, photo and three letters of reference to:

Wisconsin, University of Wisconsin-Cytopathology



University of Wisconsin
Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
Cytopathology
Openings July 2017 (up to two positions)

The Department of Pathology is offering a one year ACGME-accredited Cytopathology Fellowship designed to provide comprehensive training in diagnostic cytopathology, particularly the immediate evaluation, triage and final diagnosis of Fine Needle Aspirations (FNAs). The cytology laboratory evaluates approximately 25,000 gynecologic and 6,000 non-gynecologic specimens, of which 2,500 are FNAs, per year. Fellows will become proficient in laboratory management, quality systems, LEAN analysis, diagnostics; including the performance and interpretation of FNAs and new technologies; including the ThinPrep Pap Test, HPV-DNA testing, and medical informatics. The cytopathology section utilizes video streaming from remote locations for immediate evaluation of FNAs. This cutting edge experience provides fellows with comprehensive training in the new technologies benefiting cytopathology today. Fellows also receive training in ultrasound-guided FNAs of the thyroid, providing them with a procedural skill useful in any future practice. The department has a strong academic mission, and provides opportunities for cytology-based research, including molecular diagnostics. Fellows will participate in the education of residents and medical students on cytology rotations.

Educational opportunities exist for rotation at the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene (including evaluating its large volume of gynecologic specimens, spending time in the cytogenetics laboratory, and teaching in the School of Cytotechnology). Fellows are expected to complete a research project for publication. Upon completion, the fellow will be prepared to direct a university or community-based practice cytopathology laboratory.

Applicants must be AP or AP/CP Board eligible or Board certified.

Stipends are commensurate with the year of post-graduate training (e.g. $63,947 for PGY5; $66,114 for PGY6, based on 2014-15 stipends).

Please send cover letter with application (download here), personal statement, CV and three letters of recommendation to:
