Cytopathology Fellowship
University of Illinois at Chicago
Openings for 2023
Description: This fellowship is a one-year, ACGME-accredited program that offers advanced training in diagnostic cytopathology, with equal emphasis on gynecologic, non-gynecologic and fine-needle aspiration cytology. The fellow will be expected to work closely with residents rotating through the cytopathology service. The fellow will alternate with residents on the Head and Neck tumor board presentation schedule. The fellow will have increasing levels of responsibility commensurate with level of performance. Strong emphasis will be placed on the integration of cytopathologic findings with corresponding histologic findings and ancillary study results. Diagnostic, research and teaching skills are emphasized in our collegial academic environment. This program would be a good fit for a self-motivated trainee with a strong interest in Cytopathology and a desire to start functioning at the level of a junior faculty member, with the caveat that the fellow will not have signout privileges. Strengths of this program include collegial faculty throughout the department and the opportunity to benefit from interactions with other outstanding departmental laboratories such as Molecular Pathology, Microbiology and Hematopathology/Flow Cytometry. Research projects may be developed according to the interests of the fellow.
ThinPrep technology, including the ThinPrep Imaging System, is utilized in the laboratory. The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) Cytopathology Laboratory also performs HPV testing in-house on the Roche COBAS platform, ensuring exposure to molecular techniques and clinical applications with which the cytopathologist needs to be conversant. The fellow will also become familiar with the quality control and quality assurance activities of the laboratory as well as with technical and professional billing considerations. The fellow will have the opportunity to perform superficial fine-needle aspiration biopsies in outpatient and inpatient settings and participate in the assessment of adequacy of image-guided fine-needle aspiration specimens, although these activities are not dependent on the fellow.
Over the course of the fellowship, the fellow will have the opportunity to develop the necessary medical knowledge and interactive skills to communicate effectively with medical professionals and patients. Upon completion of this fellowship program, the fellow should be ready to practice independently in private, commercial or academic settings and be able to meet all competency requirements for the daily practice of cytopathology.
Requirements: Applicants should have passed USMLE Step III and be board-eligible or board-certified in anatomic pathology or combined anatomic and clinical pathology. The applicant must be eligible for a permanent Illinois medical license.
Stipend: Commensurate with level of training. The UIC Graduate Medical Education Office (http://pathology.uic.edu/cytopathology-fellowship/) posts specific information regarding stipends and benefits.

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.
