Arkana Laboratories - Renal Pathology Fellowship Opening for 2022-2023
The Arkana renal pathology fellowship is a one-year program designed to train a well-rounded academic renal pathologist. With more than 18,000 medical kidney biopsies each year (native and transplant) and 15 full-time 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, fellows 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. Our fellows are encouraged to participate in national meetings, engage in social media outlets, and develop leadership skills that will serve them throughout their careers.
Our fellowship is designed to maximize learning and minimize extraneous "scut work" without educational value. Fellows are welcome to work on projects on the weekend but there is no weekend on-call responsibility in fellowship year. Above all, we are proud of providing a warm and supportive environment with a staff of pathologists eager to help fellows immediately step into a full-time renal pathology position upon successful completion of the program.

Hematopathology / Hematology Fellowship
Opening for 2024 - 2025
Description: The Hematopathology Section of the Department of Pathology and Immunology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has an opening for fellowship year beginning in 2024. We offer a one-year clinical fellowship for qualified applicants. This service includes adult and pediatric hematopathology, flow cytometry including Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) testing and exposure to molecular and cytogenetics laboratory testing in hematopoietic malignancies. Approximately 3 months of assigned elective time is provided to cover benign/wet hematology, performance of bone marrow biopsy procedure, research, molecular diagnostics, genomics and/or cytogenetics.
The large referral quaternary care and urban hospital system associated with Washington University in St. Louis provides a broad range of cases comprising ~3500 in-house marrows (cores and aspirates), ~1500 lymph nodes and other surgical and non-surgical specimens, and ~1000 consult cases per year. The Adult and Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant services together perform more than 400 transplants annually. Due to the high volume and diversity of cases, the fellows 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 is expected to write pathology reports integrating morphologic description and all ancillary studies (immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, molecular and cytogenetic testing results). The fellow is seen as the primary contact for referring physicians and will work closely with the clinical hematology and/or oncology fellows and faculty, gaining insights into the clinical management of patients.
The fellows present weekly at the lymphoma and bone marrow transplant conferences, monthly at cytogenetics and molecular correlation conferences, and at journal clubs assigned to them. The fellows are expected to participate in hematopathology-related translational projects for which funding is available. Trainees with strong basic research interests can opt to be a part of a stimulating and collegial research community with top-notch facilities and resources as their future goals. Exposure to next generation sequencing data analysis of targeted cancer genes associated with hematologic malignancies can be obtained during the elective time, if the fellow desires additional clinical exposure to this evolving field of molecular hematology.
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, clinical, 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.
Requirements: Applicants must be Board eligible or certified in anatomic and/or clinical pathology. To apply, submit all materials via our website online application system.

The cornerstone of the surgical pathology fellowship at UVM Medical Center and the University of Vermont is the Provisional Diagnosis Service, or "hotseat." It is an exciting rotation in which the senior resident or fellow is responsible for providing provisional diagnoses and triage for all resident bench cases processed in the Surgical Pathology Division.
The hot seat is located in the hub of our sign out area directly across from the cutting room and histology and in the same suite with the attending staff, surgical pathology office, and Cytology Division. Hot seat rotations are each one month long because of the intensity of this service.
Previous fellows and residents who have worked in this position find the experience to be enlightening and profoundly educational as they directly interact with clinicians, surgical pathology attendings, and mentor junior residents. The typical day starts with evaluation of routine and expedited biopsies followed by non-biopsy excision specimens. In the afternoon, the hot seat is responsible for intraoperative consultations together with one of the resident bench attendings. The frozen section room is immediately across the hall and adjacent to the routine cutting room.
The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine accessions approximately 35,000 surgicals, 4,500 non-gyn and fine needle aspirate cytology specimens, and over 60,000 gyn cytology specimens per year.

During the one year fellowship, the individual microscopically evaluates abnormal Pap tests, body cavity fluid specimens, and FNAB specimens prior to their sign-out by the attending cytopathologist. Fellows are initially trained in the performance of FNAB, and after competence is attained, perform the technique independently. As diagnostic skills are mastered, fellows are allowed to give preliminary FNAB results to clinicians prior to their showing the cases to faculty. The fellow spends approximately 15% of his/her time on the surgical pathology consult service to hone his/her surgical pathology skills as we believe excellence in surgical pathology facilitates mastery of cytopathology. The practical learning is enhanced with didactic lectures (given by faculty and fellows), journal clubs, unknown cases, online teaching modules, and hands-on experience in the HPV and cytology preparatory laboratories. Numerous opportunities in departmental research activities are available; involvement in research activities is encouraged but is not mandatory. The goal is for the fellows to finish the year with a strong grasp of diagnostics, laboratory management, and federal regulations involved in managing an academic or community hospital based cytopathology laboratory.
