Genitourinary Pathology Fellowship
Positions Available: 2022-2023, 2023-2024
Dr. Xiaoyan Liao leads this one-year, non-accredited department fellowship in Genitourinary Pathology. The program was established in 2005, and is divided into three primary activities: 1) clinically oriented work which includes supervised sign out of genitourinary case material and presentation at clinical conferences; 2) clinical/pathologic research and/or more basic bench research; 3) teaching of residents and medical students.
The Surgical Pathology Division at the University of Rochester is a large one: its more than 30 faculty are responsible for approximately 95,000 cases annually, including those from the medical center’s flagship hospital, Strong Memorial Hospital, as well as four of its affiliates in the surrounding upstate NY region. The Division is completely subspecialized and is home to three departmental fellows including the genitourinary pathology fellowship. There is a significant number of complex and unusual genitourinary specimens through the year. In addition, the Urology and Pathology departments have a wide range of clinical and basic research activities with particular strengths in prostate and bladder cancer research. In the past, we have conducted a variety of research projects where the fellows were the lead presenters/authors. Some of the examples include studies on the utility of frozen section assessment of surgical margins during urological surgeries, immunohistochemistry of biomarkers in a set of tissue microarray consisting of radical prostatectomy specimens, and associations between prostate biopsy and radical prostatectomy findings. Fellows have also been involved in collaborative projects with other departments, including urology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, and radiology.
Individuals interested in applying to these programs must have completed a four-year accredited AP/CP Pathology Residency program and be board eligible/certified.
Required Documents: CAP Standard Fellowship Application, Personal Statement, Curriculum Vitae, 3 Letters of Recommendation, USMLE Scores
