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.
