Blood Bank / Transfusion Medicine Fellowship
Opening for July 2009
Come join trainees in 60 residency and fellowship programs sponsored by the University of Alabama School of Medicine! The Transfusion Medicine / Blood Banking fellowship offers a one-year training in a broad range of topics in the only level I trauma center in north Alabama.
Our blood bank transfuses > 72,000 units of blood products a year to surgical, trauma, transplant, and patients in general. We have open communication with the medical staff and work side-by-side to provide appropriate transfusion support. The fellow is an important member of our team, and works closely with faculty and pathology residents. The Fellow also has the opportunity to rotate at the Birmingham Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the Children’s Hospital, both located in the UAB campus.
The therapeutic apheresis service is part of the transfusion services and allows in-depth training in the various modalities of treatment, including photopheresis. Donor center experience is acquired through a rotation in the local American Red Cross collection facility. Best of all, our training program provides flexibility to accommodate each trainee’s areas of interest with the hospital service needs. UAB School of Medicine ranks among the top 20 NIH-funded institutions and research opportunities are available to the Fellow, either within or outside the department of Pathology.
If you would like to know more about us, please email Marisa B. Marques, M.D., Program Director, at mmarques@uab.edu or Morgan Burke, Program Coordinator, at LMB3785@uab.edu or call 205-934-7774. Click here for our website.
Our mail address is 619 South 19th Street, West Pavilion. Birmingham, AL 35233-7331.
Birmingham is an exciting, growing, and progressive city nestled in the lush, green foothills of the Appalachian mountains.

Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellowship
Opening for July 2009
Description of Program:
The University of Alabama at Birmingham Departments of Pathology and Genetics jointly offer a one-year ACGME accredited clinical fellowship in molecular genetic pathology beginning July 2009. The fellowship is designed to train academically oriented pathologists and medical geneticists for a career in molecular genetic pathology, including hematology/oncology, infectious diseases, identity testing, molecular diagnostics of Mendelian disorders, cytogenetics, biochemical genetics and medical genetics. After completion of this program, the fellow will be eligible to take the Molecular Genetic Pathology board examination cosponsored by ABP and ABMG.
Training includes didactic courses, selected laboratory rotations and an in-depth research experience. The fellow will gain experience in a broad range of molecular techniques including nucleic acid extraction and amplification (PCR, RT-PCR, real-time PCR, NASBA, SDA, and hybrid capture), Southern blotting, sequencing, capillary electrophoresis, traditional cytogenetics, FISH, and microarray technology. Trainees are expected to function as junior attendings and will be actively involved in test development, performance, preparation of report of sign-out, participation in clinic/inpatient visits and clinical consultation. Fellows are also exposed to administrative aspects of directing a modern molecular diagnostics laboratory. Opportunities for research experience are available in the first and subsequent years.
Requirements: Completed residency training in AP, CP, AP/CP or
medical genetics and Alabama medical licensure.
Numbers of appointments: One to two fellows are selected each year.
Length of Program: 12 months.

Openings for 2009
Position
Each year, two positions are available in this one-year program. This fellowship is designed for the training of board-eligible candidates who desire to practice nephropathology. This fellowship provides training for the interpretation of renal biopsies in all areas of Nephropathology, including native renal disease (adult and pediatric) and renal transplant pathology. The fellows receive intensive training and supervision, learning to interpret renal disease utilizing light, immunofluorescence and electron microscopic techniques. Gradually, they are given more responsibility, and ultimately function independently.
Fellows will have access to and participate in the evaluation of some 4,000 specimens per year collected by Nephropath. Nephropath receives specimens from many nephrology groups across the United States and the Dominican Republic. The large number of interesting cases and extensive database allow the Fellow the opportunity to pursue academic interests, if desired. Time is available and protected for scholarly work.
Fellows will attend and participate in the daily morning nephropathology conferences. They will also participate in monthly teaching conferences at Baptist and Arkansas Children’s Hospitals in Little Rock. The opportunity to be considered for a staff position at Nephropath is available following successful completion of the Fellowship to those with desire and interest.
Requirements
Candidates must have completed three years of AP residency or four years of AP/CP training and be Board eligible in Pathology by starting date of the fellowship.
