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.

Wisconsin, University of Wisconsin-Transfusion Medicine

University of Wisconsin
Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
Transfusion Medicine Fellowship
Openings for July 2019

The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is offering a 1-year ACGME accredited fellowship in Transfusion Medicine. 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.
