Hematopathology Fellowship
Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology
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.

Medical Microbiology Fellowship

The Franz Von Lichtenberg Fellowship in Infectious Disease and Molecular Microbiology is an ACGME-accredited one-year training program in Medical Microbiology based at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (an affiliate of Harvard Medical School), with options for elective rotations at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

The fellowship is designed to train the next generation of leaders in infectious disease diagnostics and combines the traditional curriculum of medical microbiology (bacteriology, mycology, virology, and parasitology) with hands-on experience in anatomic infectious disease pathology and advanced molecular diagnostics, including pathogen genomics. 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. Candidates must be eligible for a Massachusetts medical license.

University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine
Moffitt Cancer Center
Cytopathology Fellowship

Accepting applications for 2 fellow positions for AY 2022-23
Application deadline February 28, 2021

The Department of Pathology and Cell Biology at the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine offers a one-year fellowship in Cytopathology, beginning July 1 and based primarily at the NIH-designated comprehensive Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC) with 1-month rotation at the University-affiliated James A. Haley VA Hospital. The ACGME-accredited program provides extensive training in all areas of Cytopathology, including gynecologic and non-gynecologic specimens as well as performance and interpretation of fine needle aspiration biopsies.

The fellow is required to conduct research and expected to bring to completion at least one research project upon graduation. There is strong departmental and institutional support for research and additional education funding will be available for the fellow to attend or present at national conferences. The fellow is required to attend weekly educational conferences and involved in the education of pathology residents during electives in Cytopathology as well as surgical oncology fellows during their 1 month rotation.

This is a premier cytopathology fellowship program. In addition to the large number and complexity of cases, another great advantage of this program is the faculty to fellow ratio of 14:2. Faculty are experts in their perspective fields with national and international recognition. Many test books and book chapters are edited or authored by our faculty and trainees. For the past 10 years all of our fellows have passed the Cytopathology board successfully and are practicing as Cytopathologists in an academic setting, VA hospital, community hospital or large laboratories. Many of them receive institutional or national awards. The graduates stated that they had extra niche in pancreatic cytology, intraoperative cytological evaluation of sentinel lymph node of breast cancer, and bone and soft tissue cytology. They also have additional exposure to performing fine needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid.

Requirements: Applicants must have four years of Anatomic Pathology (AP)/Clinical Pathology (CP) training or at least three years of AP training and eligible for the AP/CP Board. Board certified candidates who have completed a surgical pathology fellowship are preferred.

Stipends: Commensurate with level of post graduate training.

Applications: We are currently accepting applications for AY 2022-2023 until February 28, 2021.
