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.
