Fellowship Opportunity
Centers for Disease Control & Prevention
Infectious Diseases Pathology Branch

Description: The Infectious Diseases Pathology Branch (IDPB), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides histopathologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular diagnostic consultation to pathologists, medical examiners, clinicians, and epidemiologists across the United States and around the world on cases of disease caused by various bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic agents. IDPB also works closely with investigators at CDC and other academic institutions on studies of pathogenesis and host responses to microbial infections. IDPB has played a pivotal role during many recent national and global outbreaks, including Zika virus, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, Ebola hemorrhagic fever, leptospirosis, West Nile virus, anthrax, influenza, SARS coronavirus, monkeypox, transplant-associated rabies and lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, and many other emerging infectious diseases.

IDPB is offering one or two-year fellowships in infectious disease pathology. During this training program, fellows will learn infectious disease pathology caused by common agents (e.g. invasive streptococcal and staphylococcal infections), unusual agents (e.g., Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Ebola hemorrhagic fever) and agents associated with epidemics or outbreaks (e.g., Zika virus, influenza, West Nile virus) through rotation on the clinical diagnostic service with the staff pathologists in IDPB. The fellow will hone their skills at developing a differential diagnosis based on histopathologic, clinical, and epidemiologic clues, and apply various specialized techniques to arrive at an agent-specific diagnosis. This is a unique opportunity for pathology residents to further their training in infectious disease pathology and to work at a national reference center.

Location: CDC headquarters in Atlanta, GA.

Tennessee, Vanderbilt University Medical Center-Hematopathology



Fellowship in Hematopathology
Opening for July 2019

The Vanderbilt University Medical Center Hematopathology Fellowship Program has two openings for a one-year fellowship starting July 2019 that includes adult and pediatric hematopathology, flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and molecular pathology as well as coagulation, wet hematology, and benign hematology.

Vanderbilt is at the very cutting edge of incorporating advanced diagnostics into patient care. Through innovative technological interfaces with the electronic medical record, the hematopathologist can quickly review a patient’s history and previous lab results to direct the entire panel of lab tests that need to be ordered for every patient receiving a bone marrow biopsy. Once the results from the cytogenetic, molecular and flow cytometry reports are available, they are incorporated into an over-arching comprehensive report that includes not only diagnostic information but also specifies prognosis and optimal methods for minimal residual disease detection. This suite of services integrating the ordering and interpretation of morphologic and laboratory data is the Diagnostic Management Team (DMT). Through the hematologic malignancy DMT project, the pathologist guides clinical decision-making and effective test utilization in diagnosing and treating hematologic disorders.

The division evaluates approximately 5,400 Hematopathology cases including 3,000 in-house bone marrows, 550 in-house tissue biopsies, 1,000 body fluids, and 1,100 consults/ referrals, as well as over 5,000 flow cytometry cases per year from Vanderbilt Hospital and Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt and an additional 900 morphology cases and nearly 1,000 flow cytometry cases per year from the VA Tennessee Valley Healthcare System.
