Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellowship
(1) Unexpected Opening for 2022 - 2023
2 Positions: 2024 - 2025

Program Description
The Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellowship in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Cedars Sinai Medical Center provides a funded ACGME-accredited fellowship position with a unique opportunity to combine state of the art molecular pathology with hands-on exposure to the clinical laboratory, clinical genetics, cytogenetics, and translational research. The Molecular Pathology Laboratory combines single gene tests and next-generation sequencing, with a focus on precision medicine for oncology, but also provides exposure to inherited and infectious disease. The Cytogenetics Laboratory is uniquely integrated with the Molecular Division and fellows participate in an integrated daily sign-out. The Cytogenetics Laboratory offers a broad range of testing which includes prenatal and postnatal diagnostics, and oncology testing by karyotype, FISH, and chromosomal microarray. With an excellent ratio of faculty to trainees, there is the opportunity to observe different approaches to clinical evaluation and to receive a high level of individualized mentorship.

Fellow Responsibilities and Translational Research Opportunities
In addition to daily routine sign-out, the fellow has hands-on experience in the laboratory with current assays and is required to develop a new clinical test during the course of the fellowship. As fellows gain experience, they act as junior attending with participation in all aspects of laboratory management including test development, validation, clinical interpretation, reporting, and ongoing proficiency testing/CAP preparedness, and management.

The wide scope of patient material in the pathology department and the Division's relationship with the Biobank & Translational Research Core and physician-scientists in a large number of departments provides a variety of opportunities for fellows to engage in clinical or bench research and develop their own projects of interest. This is facilitated by the Cedars-Sinai Clinical Scholars Program, which provides formal training in biostatistics, scientific ethics, grant writing, and approaches to clinical research and personalized medicine. California licensure is required at the time of appointment.

Stipends
Commensurate with the applicant's year of postgraduate training

H/N Selective Pathology Fellowship
Unexpected Opening for 2022-2023
Openings for 2023-2024 and 2024-2025

Description: The Head and Neck (H/N) Selective Pathology Fellowship is a one-year ACGME-approved position designed to provide advanced in-depth training in H/N pathology. The Fellow will be an integral member of the University of Miami H/N Pathology Service and will work closely with the H/N pathology specialty faculty as well as the University of Miami Department of Otolaryngology, a renowned program consistently top ranked by the US News and World Report. 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.

Requirements: Applicant must be Board eligible or certified in Anatomic/Clinical Pathology or Anatomic Pathology.

Facilities: Jackson Memorial Hospital (JMH), Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (SCCC) and University of Miami Hospital and Clinics (UMHC).
