Cytopathology Fellowship
Unexpected Opening for 2021 – 2022
This one-year, ACGME-accredited fellowship provides advanced training in all aspects of Cytopathology. The fellows participate in the daily sign-out of all specimens and provide immediate on-site interpretation for superficial and deep FNAs with progressive responsibilities leading to the development of diagnostic autonomy. There is substantial exposure to surgical pathology with emphasis on the correlation between these two disciplines, particularly as the needle core biopsies object of on-site interpretation are kept as part of the Cytopathology specimen. Approximately 16,000 specimens are evaluated annually, including 2500 non-gynecologic exfoliative specimens and 2100 fine needle aspiration biopsies covering the spectrum of cytopathology practice with extensive use of immunochemistry, flow cytometry, molecular and cytogenetic ancillary studies. The program includes a 2-week rotation in our solid tumor molecular diagnostics service. A dedicated Ultrasound-guided FNA (USFNA) service is located in the Pathology Department, staffed by three USFNA-trained pathologists, with an annual volume of 350 cases. The Cytopathology fellows receive training in FNA performance, actively participating in procedures under direct attending supervision with the objective of becoming proficient in both palpation and ultrasound-guided FNA. Appropriate clinical management as applied to surgical and cytopathology diagnoses and interdisciplinary communication is stressed, including case presentation at tumor boards. Participation in the instruction of residents through lectures and slide sessions is an integral part of the program. Over 4,000 glass slide study sets are available for review. Fellows will also gain practical skills in laboratory management. Translational research as well as clinical research for presentation at national level is strongly encouraged. Requirements: Candidates must have satisfactorily completed an accredited training program in AP or AP/CP.

Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Nashville, Tennessee
Openings for 2023
The Vanderbilt University Medical Center Hematopathology Fellowship Program has an opening for a one-year fellowship starting July 2023 that includes adult and pediatric hematopathology, flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and molecular pathology as well as coagulation, wet hematology, and benign hematology.
Vanderbilt is at the very cutting edge of incorporating advanced diagnostics into patient care. Through innovative technological interfaces with the electronic medical record, the hematopathologist can quickly review a patient’s history and previous lab results to direct the entire panel of lab tests that need to be ordered for every patient receiving a bone marrow biopsy. Once the results from the cytogenetic, molecular and flow cytometry reports are available, they are incorporated into an over-arching comprehensive report that includes not only diagnostic information but also specifies prognosis and optimal methods for minimal residual disease detection. This suite of services integrating the ordering and interpretation of morphologic and laboratory data is the Diagnostic Management Team (DMT). Through the hematologic malignancy DMT project, the pathologist guides clinical decision-making and effective test utilization in diagnosing and treating hematologic disorders.
The division evaluates approximately 5,400 Hematopathology cases including 3,000 in-house bone marrows, 550 in-house tissue biopsies, 1,000 body fluids, and 1,100 consults/referrals, as well as over 5,000 flow cytometry cases per year from Vanderbilt Hospital and Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt and an additional 900 morphology cases and nearly 1,000 flow cytometry cases per year from the VA Tennessee Valley Healthcare System.

The curriculum includes formal rotations in all areas of clinical microbiology, molecular diagnostics, and incorporates dedicated time for clinically-related research projects. Trainees review all anatomic cases with infectious etiologies and correlate case findings with clinical microbiology data. Fellows are also directly involved in the use, design and implementation of molecular, phenotypic and computational methods to diagnose infectious diseases, and to gain hands-on knowledge regarding the development and management of clinical workflows. Fellows have opportunities to teach in the microbiology and infectious diseases courses at Harvard Medical School, and in hospital-based conferences with the BWH Infectious Disease Division.
Opportunities for research collaboration with faculty are encouraged and include topics in clinical microbiology, pathogen biology, host-microbiome-pathogen interactions, and immune responses to infectious agents.
Requirements
Candidates must have successfully completed an ACGME-accredited residency in anatomic and clinical pathology or in clinical pathology, or an ACGME-accredited residency program in internal medicine and an ACGME-accredited fellowship in infectious diseases.

Genitourinary Pathology Fellowship
Positions Available: 2022-2023, 2023-2024
Dr. Xiaoyan Liao leads this one-year, non-accredited department fellowship in Genitourinary Pathology. The program was established in 2005, and is divided into three primary activities: 1) clinically oriented work which includes supervised sign out of genitourinary case material and presentation at clinical conferences; 2) clinical/pathologic research and/or more basic bench research; 3) teaching of residents and medical students.
The Surgical Pathology Division at the University of Rochester is a large one: its more than 30 faculty are responsible for approximately 95,000 cases annually, including those from the medical center’s flagship hospital, Strong Memorial Hospital, as well as four of its affiliates in the surrounding upstate NY region. The Division is completely subspecialized and is home to three departmental fellows including the genitourinary pathology fellowship. There is a significant number of complex and unusual genitourinary specimens through the year. In addition, the Urology and Pathology departments have a wide range of clinical and basic research activities with particular strengths in prostate and bladder cancer research. In the past, we have conducted a variety of research projects where the fellows were the lead presenters/authors. Some of the examples include studies on the utility of frozen section assessment of surgical margins during urological surgeries, immunohistochemistry of biomarkers in a set of tissue microarray consisting of radical prostatectomy specimens, and associations between prostate biopsy and radical prostatectomy findings. Fellows have also been involved in collaborative projects with other departments, including urology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, and radiology.
Individuals interested in applying to these programs must have completed a four-year accredited AP/CP Pathology Residency program and be board eligible/certified.
