Arkansas, Arkana Laboratories-Renal

Arkana Laboratories - Renal Pathology Fellowship
Opening for 2021-2022

The Arkana renal pathology fellowship is a one-year program designed to train a well-rounded academic renal pathologist. With more than 16,000 medical kidney biopsies each year (native and transplant) and 15 renal pathologists from different training backgrounds, Arkana provides an unparalleled resource for training. We foster an environment in which every trainee can become an expert in diagnostic renal pathology, developing a full understanding of the lesions which can be seen in medical kidney disease.

Because it is important for a renal pathologist to be able to design and carry out academic research, you will learn how to develop a research project, write a manuscript, and navigate the peer-reviewed medical literature submissions process. These projects can be developed utilizing our vast renal biopsy archive as well as the resources of the Arkana Biorepository and our zebrafish facility.

Our fellowship is designed to maximize learning and minimize extraneous 'scut work' without educational value. You are welcome to work on projects on the weekend but there is no weekend on-call responsibility in fellowship year. We will provide a warm and supportive environment with a staff of pathologists eager to help you immediately step into a full-time renal pathology position upon successful completion of the program.

The hot seat is located in the hub of our sign out area directly across from the cutting room and histology and in the same suite with the attending staff, surgical pathology office, and Cytology Division. Hot seat rotations are each one month long because of the intensity of this service.

Previous fellows and residents who have worked in this position find the experience to be enlightening and profoundly educational as they directly interact with clinicians, surgical pathology attendings, and mentor junior residents. The typical day starts with evaluation of routine and expedited biopsies followed by non-biopsy excision specimens. In the afternoon, the hot seat is responsible for intraoperative consultations together with one of the resident bench attendings. The frozen section room is immediately across the hall and adjacent to the routine cutting room.

The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine accessions approximately 35,000 surgicals, 4,500 non-gyn and fine needle aspirate cytology specimens, and over 60,000 gyn cytology specimens per year.

Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University-Hematopathology

Hematopathology Fellowship
2020-2021 and 2021-2022

This ACGME-accredited program provides comprehensive training in Hematopathology. It is aimed at those who have fulfilled a standard pathology residency and wish to specialize in hematopathology in either a community hospital or academic setting. Under direct supervision of the faculty, the fellows become proficient in the morphologic evaluation of bone marrow biopsies and aspirate smears, lymphoid tissues, blood smears, and body fluids as well as in the interpretation of automated hematology data and special diagnostic studies, including flow cytometric data, molecular diagnostic assays, and classical/molecular cytogenetics, especially FISH analysis. The fellows also evaluate surgical and cytopathology specimens with potential hematopoietic malignancy, and gain experience in the laboratory investigation of anemias, diseases of hemostasis and thrombosis, and other benign diseases of the hematopoietic system. The fellows gain experience in laboratory management through ongoing participation in quality assurance and quality control studies, instrument and procedure modifications, and projects to improve personnel utilization and patient safety. The daily supervision of residents and medical students in the hematology laboratory is the responsibility of the fellows, and there are a variety of opportunities to participate in other teaching activities, as well as basic and clinical research studies.

Requirements: Preference will be given to applicants who have completed AP/CP training, or are board eligible in anatomic and/or clinical pathology. All candidates must have passed USMLE Step 3.
