The Vanderbilt University Medical Center Hematopathology Fellowship Program has an opening for a one-year fellowship starting July 2025 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.

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.

The trainee is an active participant in management of the laboratories and consults with clinicians relative to use of the laboratory and interpretation of results. During the one year fellowship the trainee is expected to pursue a research project with the opportunity for multiple projects throughout the year if the fellow wishes. Research interests include antimicrobial testing, infections in immunocompromised patients, fungi including pneumocystis, rapid methods and instrumentation, and molecular diagnostics of infectious diseases. The departmental research group also presents ample opportunities for participation in diagnostic clinical studies and trials with major companies. State-of-the-art diagnostic methods include: microbial identification by nucleic acid amplification, pyrosequencing, MALDI-TOF MS and molecular detection of antimicrobial resistance. Laboratory automation has been implemented and expansion is ongoing.
