University of Miami / Jackson Memorial Hospital
H/N Selective Pathology Fellowship
Unexpected Opening for 2022-2023
Openings for 2023-2024 and 2024-2025

Description: The Head and Neck (H/N) Selective Pathology Fellowship is a one-year ACGME-approved position designed to provide advanced in-depth training in H/N pathology. The Fellow will be an integral member of the University of Miami H/N Pathology Service and will work closely with the H/N pathology specialty faculty as well as the University of Miami Department of Otolaryngology, a renowned program consistently top ranked by the US News and World Report. Their strong surgical presence on campus affords a large H/N surgical pathology case volume with complex, unique and interesting cases daily.

The pathology laboratory located at the University of Miami Hospital receives and processes over 1000 H/N surgical specimens from the operating rooms, and over 875 H/N surgical specimens from the UM Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. The JMH pathology laboratory receives approximately 350 H/N surgical specimens a year, ranging from diagnostic biopsies to large complex resections that include oral maxillofacial resections. An integral part of both H/N Surgery and the practice of Pathology is the use of intraoperative frozen sections. The H/N surgical cases typically require multiple frozen sections, accounting for approximately 4300 individual frozen sections performed and diagnosed annually.

The fellowship curriculum includes core training in the management of the daily sign out of cases ranging from the routine to the complex. A “hot-seat” rotation in intraoperative H/N frozen sections is a valuable component of the curriculum. Elective rotations, opportunities for clinical and translational research are also available. The Fellow is primarily responsible for the consultative services and the multidisciplinary clinical-pathological conferences. The fellow is expected to participate in the academic activities of the Pathology Department, including Journal Club, Grand Rounds, resident conferences, and publish at least one paper in a peer reviewed journal.

Requirements: Applicant must be Board eligible or certified in Anatomic/Clinical Pathology or Anatomic Pathology.

Facilities: Jackson Memorial Hospital (JMH), Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (SCCC) and University of Miami Hospital and Clinics (UMHC).

Stipends: Commensurate with the applicant’s year of postgraduate training.

Staff: Carmen Gomez-Fernandez MD; O. Oleksandr Kryvenko MD; Jaylou Velez-Torres, MD

Application: Applications should be submitted by October 31 (20 months prior to start date) via email to pathology.fellowships@miami.edu. Candidates should submit the CAP Standardized Application, curriculum vitae and three letters of recommendation. Letters of recommendation should be addressed to the Program Director.

Description: The Department of Pathology and Immunology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis announces openings 2024-2025 for an accredited Head and Neck Pathology Fellowship. This is a one-year ACGME-accredited fellowship.

The Division of Anatomic and Molecular Pathology at Washington University Medical Center (WUMC), St. Louis, Missouri, trains one head and neck pathology fellow per year. Major strengths of the fellowship include a diverse and abundant case mix, graduated responsibility for clinical cases (particularly in the area of frozen section diagnosis) and opportunities for clinical research. It is a highly immersive fellowship, with a large volume of specimens ranging from the most complex to the most common to many of the rarest. Current rotations include head and neck pathology, frozen section, consults, and research and/or elective. Depending on the interest of the fellow, the fellowship may include general surgical pathology (up to six month) or exclusively of head and neck pathology. All of our fellowships are highly immersive, allowing trainees to gain familiarity with both common and rare surgical pathology specimens. Fellows are given a high degree of independence in working up cases which they subsequently sign out with the attending staff. Frozen section experience, opportunities to cross-rotate in other areas of surgical pathology and research experiences are available.

Requirements:
Applicants must possess an MD degree or DO degree (or foreign equivalent) and must be board-certified or board-eligible in anatomic pathology at the time the fellowship begins. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States.

Stipends:
Support will be commensurate with the applicant's level of postgraduate training.

Staff:
Rebecca Chernock MD, Program Director and Mena Mansour MD, head & neck and surgical pathology

Applications:
Applicants should submit an online application and include a current curriculum vitae, personal statement, three reference letters, current photo, and USMLE and/or ECFMG scores. Applications will open in January of 2022.

Head and Neck Pathology Fellowship
Opening for 2023

The Department of Pathology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center offers a one-year fellowship training program in head and neck pathology which includes thyroid and parathyroid pathology. The fellowship begins on July 1st and ends on June 30th the following year. All fellows should have completed residency training in anatomic pathology and be certified (or eligible for certification) by the American Board of Pathology.

The head and neck pathologists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center function as part of a multidisciplinary disease management team that includes head and neck oncologists and surgeons, radiation oncologists, endocrinologists and radiologists who work together to establish diagnoses and render state-of-the-art care to patients with head and neck neoplasms including thyroid and parathyroid tumors. Using a large volume of quality in-house and submitted consultation case material, as well as recommended reading lists, the head and neck pathology fellows achieve competence in the pathologic diagnosis, staging, and prognostication of the full spectrum of head and neck tumors. Fellows interested in pursuing an academic career have opportunities to perform large clinico-pathologic and molecular correlations involving hundreds of patients with head and neck tumors. This research endeavor will render them well equipped to embark on an academic career in head and neck pathology.

The successful applicant will demonstrate a focused and sustained interest in head and neck diseases and will be an energetic individual committed to a career centered on head and neck pathology with strong oral and written communication skills. Prior fellowship training in surgical pathology, especially oncologic pathology is desirable but not required.
