1 position 2023-2025

Program Overview
Training in the fellowship program in clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine at the University of Virginia is designed to prepare fellows for careers in Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine. The program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Clinical Chemistry (ComACC) and material covered meets the standards and guidelines of that organization. The program is two years and allows sufficient time for in-depth training in the broad area of clinical chemistry, molecular diagnostics and laboratory medicine.

The fellowship is focused on an in-depth study of laboratory medicine, with emphasis in the areas of clinical chemistry, toxicology, laboratory management, laboratory computing, immunological testing and evidence-based laboratory medicine. Additional time in hematology, coagulation and microbiology is available for fellows who wish to be prepared to direct a core laboratory. Fellows are integrated into laboratory rotations with pathology residents, clinical activities with residents and clinical departments attendings, notably in the Divisions of General Medicine, Endocrinology and Hematology-Oncology in the Department of Internal Medicine and the Division of Clinical Toxicology in the Department of Emergency Medicine. Training during the first year is intended to be sufficient for the Fellow to sit for the American Board of Clinical Chemistry exam at the end of the first year.

Since accreditation in 2006, there have been 12 graduates of the Fellowship. Some examples of career choices of our graduates include academic medical centers as either laboratory directors or in education, laboratory director at large regional medical centers, active duty with the US Army, and industry/commercial laboratory operations.

Fellowship Requirements
PhD, MD, or equivalent degree. Satisfactory completion of a minimum of thirty (30) semester hours (or equivalent) in undergraduate and/or graduate level chemistry and/or biochemistry courses taken at institutions acceptable to the American Board of Clinical Chemistry (ABCC) for fulfilling the eligibility requirements for taking the Chemistry Board exam.

Virginia, University of Virginia-Cytopathology

Cytopathology Fellowship
2 positions 2023-2024

Program Overview
The Cytopathology Fellowship centers around patient care responsibilities leading to excellence in the field of cytopathology. In addition to service responsibilities, cytopathology fellows assist in the overall training of residents in cytopathology, particularly during microscopic sign-out sessions and in the performance and interpretation of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) specimens.

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.

Fellowship Requirements
Applicants must have an MD degree (or foreign equivalent with ECFMG certification) and be board eligible or certified in anatomic or anatomic and clinical pathology.

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.

Community: Burlington is a four-season city with a multitude of cultural events and outdoor activities such as hiking, biking and skiing. Vermont offers an outstanding quality of life with benefits that include clean environment, world-class restaurants and excellent schools. As the largest city in Vermont, the community attracts outstanding musical and stage performances.

Stipend: Dependent on level of training. PGY-5 2020 UVMMC Salary: $70,020.00

We take pride in serving our community through an interdisciplinary team approach in which the diagnostic and consultative role of the pathologist is valued. Fellows learn the art and science of Cytopathology through study of a vast array of cytologic specimens with extensive histological and clinical correlation. Over 25,000 annual cytologic specimens and numerous educational resources are available to meet the fellow’s educational objectives. Faculty includes five cytopathologists who staff a modern laboratory which includes a state-of-the-art computer system that facilitates histological-cytological correlation and quality control monitoring. We are one of the few centers in North East Ohio that offers a robust, pathologist-performed FNA service, which is time and cost-efficient, drawing positive feedback from our clinicians. The fellowship experience includes both procurement and rapid on-site evaluation of FNA samples from superficial sites. Non-palpable, deep body site FNAs are performed under CT or ultrasound guidance (EUS/EBUS) with cytology support. Ancillary studies such as immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry, and molecular testing complement morphologic studies and are integrated into the educational program. The fellow assumes progressive, supervised sign-out and conference responsibilities, including tumor boards, general pathology and cytopathology journal clubs, and teaching of residents and medical students. Fellows actively participate in quality assurance programs unique to the cytology laboratory. Management principles are stressed throughout the curriculum. Active participation in clinical research and presentation at a national meeting is encouraged.

We are currently accepting applications for the 2022-23 academic year.
