Arkana Laboratories - Renal Pathology Fellowship
Opening for 2020-2021
The Arkana renal pathology fellowship is a one-year program designed to train a well-rounded academic renal pathologist. With more than 16,000 medical kidney biopsies each year (native and transplant) and 15 renal pathologists from different training backgrounds, Arkana provides an unparalleled resource for training. We foster an environment in which every trainee can become an expert in diagnostic renal pathology, developing a full understanding of the lesions which can be seen in medical kidney disease.
Because it is important for a renal pathologist to be able to design and carry out academic research, you will learn how to develop a research project, write a manuscript, and navigate the peer-reviewed medical literature submissions process. These projects can be developed utilizing our vast renal biopsy archive as well as the resources of the Arkana Biorepository and our zebrafish facility.
Our fellowship is designed to maximize learning and minimize extraneous 'scut work' without educational value. You are welcome to work on projects on the weekend but there is no weekend on-call responsibility in fellowship year. We will provide a warm and supportive environment with a staff of pathologists eager to help you immediately step into a full-time renal pathology position upon successful completion of the program.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellowship
(Unexpected) Opening for 2020-2021
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.
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. California licensure is required at the time of appointment.
Stipends: Commensurate with the applicant's year of postgraduate training

WASHINGTON UNIV, St. Louis, MO. The Neuropathology Division at Washington University has a longstanding program dedicated to providing excellence in clinical service, research, and teaching. The fellowship position is one of the few in the country to consistently fill and it has been accredited for over 40 years. Our faculty includes nationally and internationally recognized experts with a wide range of both clinical and basic research interests, particularly neoplastic, neurodegenerative, peripheral nerve, and muscle neuropathology.
The goal of the neuropathology training program is to prepare our fellows for all aspects of a highly successful career in academic neuropathology. One new fellow is accepted into the program each year. At least two years of prior postgraduate training are required. Preference is given to individuals with two years of anatomic pathology training. The program requires a two-year commitment. During the first year, concentration is directed to the diagnostic aspects of neuropathology. In this period, the fellow gains familiarity with both common and rare neuropathological diseases, morphologic diagnosis, and ancillary techniques, such as immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, and molecular diagnostics.
Approximately 1600 specimens come through the clinical service each year, including autopsy, surgical, and consultation material. The second year is primarily for research with a small clinical autopsy component. A wide spectrum of both clinical and neuroscience research opportunities exist within the division and the medical school environment. The second year offers the individual a chance to begin or expand upon a specific area of investigation with the aim of developing a viable, ongoing research program. Some fellows have extended their time in the lab and the program can be tailored to individual needs depending on the candidate’s long-term career goals, availability of an appropriate mentor, and funding. Prior fellows from Washington University have uniformly passed their Neuropathology Boards, secured desirable faculty positions, and pursued successful careers.

Cytopathology Fellowship
University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center
Openings for 2022 and 2023
The UNM cytopathology fellowship is a one year, ACGME accredited, predominantly clinical experience that occurs at UNM Health Sciences Center and its supporting clinical laboratory, TriCore Reference Laboratories (TRL). Emphasis is placed on cementing diagnostic accuracy in Pap smears and non-gyn specimens such as fine needle aspirate (FNA) specimens, endoscopic-guided biopsies, and specimens obtained by washings, lavage, and brushings. During the clinical months, the fellow will also learn to perform ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration biopsies from four faculty members specialty trained in this growing area of cytopathology. Up to three months may be devoted to research. Laboratory management principles are taught both at UNM HSC and TRL and include Quality Assurance/ Quality Control (QA/QC) specific to the cytopathology laboratory, new technique analysis, and personnel/budgeting issues. Research comprises utilizing techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), and immunocytochemistry applied to cytology specimens to hone diagnostic and prognostic information. A plethora of cytology specimens are available (more than 90,000 Pap smears and 4800 non-gyns including FNA's collected, processed, and analyzed per year at the training sites), but the fellow also (when time permits in this busy year!) reviews a large teaching set and adds to it. At the successful completion of this year, the fellow is eligible to sit for subspecialty certification in cytopathology.

Hematopathology Fellowship
Openings for 2021
Description: The University of Rochester invites applications for Hematopathology fellow positions beginning July 2021. This one-year, ACGME-accredited program provides an opportunity to work with multiple fully subspecialized hematopathologists, alongside world-renowned colleagues in hematology/oncology at URMC and the Wilmot Cancer Institute. Our philosophy is to optimize the learning environment by giving trainees complete responsibility for diagnostic workup in a supportive environment where attending faculty are immediately on-hand and their doors are always open. This works wonderfully for trainee education and continuity of patient care. We expect the fellows to "take ownership' of the hematopathology service: it is theirs to shape for a year. There are rotating students and residents, and the fellow functions as the chief resident for this team. Working within a large academic referral center that is simultaneously a general hospital, this program offers training in all aspects of diagnostic hematopathology. While the focus is on morphologic based diagnosis of lymphomas and leukemias, our model of diagnostic practice is holistic with all flow cytometry, molecular, cytogenetic and other results integrated into a single diagnostic report for which the fellow is responsible. We provide ample opportunities and support for academic projects if trainees want to pursue these.
Requirements: Candidates must be AP, CP, AP/CP, or internal medicine board certified or eligible at the start of the fellowship program. Salary levels are commensurate with the level of postgraduate pathology training.

Surgical Pathology Fellowship
Two Fellow Positions for 2021
The Surgical Pathology Fellowship at UTMB offers advanced training with in-depth exposure to the full spectrum of Surgical Pathology. The Division evaluates approximately 20,000 surgical pathology cases each year, with a great diversity of neoplastic and non-neoplastic specimens and a high degree of complexity. There are nine full-time faculty and numerous subspecialty consultants on the surgical pathology service. Sign out is by subspecialty, with each faculty member specializing in one primary and one or more secondary subspecialties. All of the major subspecialties are well represented and experienced during the fellowship including GI, GU, Gyn, Breast, Head and Neck, Thoracic, Bone and Soft Tissue, Pediatric, Medical Renal, Liver and Transplant pathology. Elective time in Neuropathology, Hematopathology, Dermatopathology, Cytopathology, Informatics or Molecular Pathology is also available to supplement the core rotations. There are significant opportunities for clinical and basic research. The range of experience ensures that the fellow will be well-prepared for a career in academia or in private practice, and there is a strong record of former fellows having accomplished those objectives.
Two surgical pathology fellows are accepted each year, for a one year term. Primary responsibilities consist of previewing cases, preparing reports, and presenting cases at tumor boards and other interdepartmental conferences. Fellows play an important role as teachers and mentors to the residents on the surgical pathology rotation, helping them develop diagnostic skills and showing interesting cases at the multi-headed microscope. In the gross room the fellows serve in an advisory capacity but do not routinely gross specimens. On the frozen section service, and in all other aspects of surgical pathology, the faculty provide the fellows with a nurturing and supportive environment as they develop their own skills and confidence to make the transition from 'trainee' to 'independent practitioner'.
The University of Texas Medical Branch, home to the first medical school in Texas, has been at the forefront of educational, research and clinical excellence since 1891. For more than 120 years, UTMB has graduated more health professionals, including physicians, nurses, allied health professionals and researchers, than any other academic health center in the state. There is a strong emphasis on graduate medical education, and approximately 560 interns, residents, and fellows are receiving graduate medical training.
UTMB's John Sealy Hospital in Galveston is home to a Level l Trauma Center, serving a nine-county area with a total population of more than 1.25 million people. UTMB's Jennie Sealy Hospital in Galveston opened in 2016 and offers private rooms in a patient- and family-centered environment that brings a unique approach to healing. More than 80 UTMB clinics at 30 locations promote wellness through prevention, and provide residents of the rapidly growing Bay Area and Galveston with access to a full range of primary and specialty care. The institution continues to grow, with a recently opened hospital in League City (a partnership with MD Anderson Cancer Center) and another new hospital opening in Clear Lake in 2019.
Requirements: Candidates must have completed 3 years of a GME approved AP or AP/CP residency training and be Board eligible in Pathology by the start date of the fellowship. Citizenship, permanent residency, or J1 visa status is also required.

Cytopathology Fellowship
Opening for 2021-2022
The mission of the Cytopathology fellowship is to provide a climate and foundation for a physician to excel and develop special competence in the diagnosis and evaluation of clinical cytology specimens and to develop an interest in research application of the cytologic method. As such, this one-year, ACGME-accredited fellowship provides advanced training in diagnostic Cytopathology and the performance of fine needle aspiration biopsies with strong encouragement to participate in clinical research.
The cytology laboratory examines approximately 60,000 cases annually of which about 4,500 are non-gynecologic. Training includes supervised sign-out, use and interpretation of ancillary tests, and immediate assessment and triaging of needle aspirates, particularly in the busy pancreatic EUS and guided thoracic FNA services. The fellow is exposed to various cytopreparatory techniques throughout the training period and is expected to occupy the "hot seat" and be the center point of the cytology service. The fellow assumes increased responsibility with time and participates in multidisciplinary conferences and teaching of pathology residents.
Ancillary clinical resources including flow cytometry, immunochemistry, and molecular diagnostics are available. Clinical and translational research performed under faculty supervision, leading to abstracts and publications, is strongly encouraged. The newly developed translational research facility provides support for research endeavors, and the fellow is expected to take advantage of it. The laboratory is fully computerized allowing for retrieval of specimens for research and teaching.
Requirements: Board eligible/certified in AP. Ability to obtain a Wisconsin Medical License.
Applications: We are currently accepting applications and interviewing. Submit a CAP Standardized Application for Pathology Fellowship, current CV, personal statement, USMLE results, ECFMG certification (if applicable) and three letters of recommendation by email to:
