Site: University Illinois Hospital, Chicago

Eligibility: Individuals who are eligible to take ABP Anatomical Pathology Examination or have passed the American Board of Pathology Anatomical Pathology Examination and/or have already completed at least one year of fellowship in another area of Pathology are eligible for the fellowship program in oncologic surgical pathology. The training program expects candidates to have the knowledge and skills to function as a beginning general surgical pathologist, to be able to diagnose benign disease processes. Candidates must have the skills, knowledge, and most importantly good judgement in knowing the boundaries of their knowledge and skill, so as to seek consultation when there is a discordance in diagnoses (malignancy encountered).

Fellowship trainees will have the opportunity to trail in at least two of the four subspecialty areas at UIC: Breast, Genitourinary-Gynecologic, Gastrointestinal-Hepatobiliary and Head-Neck-Endocrine-Pulmonary with instruction in examination of complex cancer resections, diagnosis, staging, testing to determine therapeutic options, complications of cancer therapy and recurrent disease. Fellows are expected to perform an analysis of a problem encountered in oncologic surgical pathology, an unusual case or a series of cases with literature review. S/he will present this analysis at the Pathology Department Grand Rounds.

The program will provide advanced training and in-depth experience in different facets of oncologic surgical pathology. It also prepares them for a career in either academics or private practice. A large volume of surgical and consultation material provides an opportunity for the development of proficiency in the diagnosis of neoplastic diseases and precursor lesions, including complications of therapy and transplant pathology. No less than 24 weeks and a maximum of 36 weeks is designated for oncologic surgical pathology training. Fellows will participate in the subspecialty services with senior pathologists, assist in the gross examination of complex specimens, documentation, diagnoses, and reporting of findings in the EMR and communicating directly with services caring for each patient.

Fellows will have the opportunity for graduated sign-out responsibilities in general, non-oncologic pathology, primarily tissue specimens categorized as 88300, 88302, 88304 and some 88035. Cases will be assigned so that a fellow is able to become comfortable with being responsible with a full workload. The time designated for this activity will be no less than 12 weeks to a maximum of 24 weeks.

Surgical Pathology Fellowship 2024-2025

We have two openings for our Surgical Pathology fellowship beginning July 2024.

Our Fellowship offers advanced training with in-depth exposure to the full spectrum of Surgical Pathology. Our nine core faculty members specialize in one primary and one or more secondary subspecialties, including GI, Liver, GU, Gyn, Breast, Head and Neck, Thoracic, Bone and Soft Tissue, Pediatric, and Neuropathology. We receive about 22,000 cases per year, with a full diversity of high complexity neoplastic and non-neoplastic specimens. The range of experience ensures that the fellow will be well-prepared for a career in academic or private practice. One month of elective time is also available.

Primary responsibilities consist of previewing slides, preparing reports, covering frozen sections and presenting cases at tumor boards. Fellows teach and mentor pathology residents and rotating medical students. On the frozen section service, and in all other aspects of surgical pathology, the faculty provide a nurturing and supportive environment as fellows develop their own skills and confidence to make the transition from 'trainee' to 'independent practitioner’. Fellows will become familiar with digital pathology as they will routinely use digital scanned slides for tumor boards as well as for primary diagnosis, ensuring that they will be well prepared when they encounter it in future practice.

UTMB provides services in several hospitals with a combined 900+ beds. Our sign-out suite and labs are located in the Jennie Sealy Hospital, adjacent to twenty busy operating rooms that contribute the majority of surgical resections examined by the division.

Galveston is an island on the Gulf coast of Texas, approximately 50 miles southeast of Houston, with a relatively low cost of living and good quality of life. For details on life in the Galveston area please visit https://www.utmb.edu/utmbliving/.

Requirements: Candidates must have completed 3 years of a GME approved AP or AP/CP residency training and be Board eligible in Pathology by the start date of the fellowship. Citizenship, permanent residency, or J1 visa status is also required. We do not offer H1 visa sponsorship for this fellowship. Though most of our fellows are recent graduates, some have been individuals who were previously in practice in another subspecialty but returned to training in order to become proficient in General Surgical Pathology.

Unified Approach: Starting with the 2024-25 academic year, we are participating in the Unified Approach and common recruitment timeline for surgical pathology fellowship programs. We will accept the CAP Common Application but may require additional supplementary information in some cases. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis as they arrive. Virtual interviews will start on August 15, 2022. First offers will be made on October 3, 2022.

This is a one-year ACGME-accredited program that offers comprehensive training in Surgical Pathology, in an environment that allows graduated responsibility and independent work to build excellent diagnostic skills and confidence.

The fellowship is designed to prepare trainees for a career as general or subspecialty pathologists. The sign-out in Surgical Pathology follows a subspecialty model, with services including breast/ thoracic, gastrointestinal/ liver, gynecologic, genitourinary, bone/ soft tissue, head and neck pathology and dermatopathology. The schedule is flexible and allows fellows to rotate through all subspecialties or focus for an extended period on subspecialties of particular interest. There are no responsibilities for grossing or autopsies. Elective rotations are available in any area of pathology.

Fellows have an initial period of working closely with faculty to develop advanced diagnostic and reporting skills. Subsequently, the fellow will assume graduated responsibility for sign-out of institutional and consultation cases, independent intraoperative frozen section evaluation, and resident instruction. Presentations at multidisciplinary conferences are paired with subspecialty service rotations. There are multiple opportunities for residents and medical student teaching. The fellow is expected to participate in one of the many departmental research projects, and peer-reviewed publication is encouraged.

The Surgical Pathology laboratory at VCU Medical Center processes over 25,000 cases a year, comprised of medical and complex oncologic surgical specimens. Resources for clinical and research activities include immunohistochemistry, molecular pathology, tissue microarrays, and bioinformatics. The trainees completing this fellowship have successfully taken positions as academic pathologists with responsibilities in service, teaching, and research, or as community-based pathologists with responsibilities primarily in service and laboratory management.

Requirements: Candidates must have satisfactorily completed an accredited training program in AP or AP/CP and passed USMLE Step 3.
