Arkansas, Arkana Laboratories-Renal

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.

Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center offers an ACGME-accredited one-year Fellowship in Oncologic Surgical Pathology.

Roswell Park, founded in 1898, is the oldest NCI-funded Comprehensive Cancer Center. The environment is fast-paced, dynamic, collegial, and exciting!

The Oncologic Surgical Pathology Fellowship provides advanced training in neoplastic diseases of GYN, Breast, GI, GU, Pulmonary, Head and Neck, Endocrine, Skin, Brain, Bone, Soft Tissue, and Hematopoietic systems. Fellows will spend time on the surgical pathology service and have protected time for research. There is an opportunity to gain additional skills in diagnostic molecular pathology or in one of the world's best flow cytometry labs, and also in solid tumor cytogenetics with capabilities in FISH and interphase analysis during your elective time. Elective rotations in cytopathology and hematopathology are also possible.

Fellows are complemented by Residents and Medical Students, enabling ample opportunity for teaching and graduated responsibility.  The Fellows are an integral part of patient care at RPCI, and their participation in disease site specific multidisciplinary tumor boards, while serving an educational purpose, also ensures the optimum quality of patient care. Seminars from Faculty within and outside the Department will supplement the Fellow's education. The complexity of cases, coupled with the large volume of cases allows Fellows to become proficient in the diagnosis of neoplastic diseases.  Fellowships may be individualized, and a second year as Chief Fellow is possible.

Requirements: Because of the demanding nature of the diseases encountered, only Residents who will complete their training in an ACGME-accredited Program by the Fellowship start date will be considered. In addition, candidates must be eligible for a New York State Medical License or Limited Permit.
