McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University
Neuropathology Fellowship
Opening for 2022

Description
The Neuropathology Division at Northwestern University McGaw Medical Center offers a two-year fellowship program starting July 1, 2022.

Neuropathology trainees concentrate on clinical training during their first year and research during their second year. Early in the first year of neuropathology fellowship, the trainee is expected to identify a laboratory and mentor. Once this is done, the trainee will be strongly encouraged to submit proposals for extramural funding support based on the chosen research topic. The goal will be to have the second year of fellowship supported by extramural sources. With 2 neuropathology fellows, the second year of training will have predominantly protected time for research, with the additional duty of overseeing the first year fellow during the new fellow’s initial month or two. The trainee’s identified research mentor will assure that emphasis is placed on 1) application of the scientific method, stressing the generation and testing of hypotheses, fundamentals of experimental design, statistical analysis and interpretation of results, preparation of written reports of findings for publication, and public presentation of research data at scientific meetings; and 2) gaining experience in contemporary neuroscience research techniques. The fellow is expected to present his or her research at one meeting per year and publish at least one paper based on work done during the fellowship. The best fellow candidates can be integrated into the PSTP where this infrastructure, mentoring and grant application guidance is already integrated into the program. If the candidate is serious about establishing an R01 funded research program, he/she will be encouraged to seek funding for additional year(s) of research.

In addition to their own research projects, Neuropathology faculty have developed extensive collaborations with Northwestern Feinberg faculty members with a wide variety of research interests.

Research Focus
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Neurogenetics
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Cell Biology of Neuronal beta Amyloid, Signal Transduction
Cell Biology of Neuronal beta Amyloid, Neurobiology of Tau
Stem Cell Biology
Signal Transduction, Neuromolecular development, Learning & Memory
Learning and Memory, Systems Neuroscience
Radiobiology and Bionanotechnology
Pediatric and Adult brain tumors
Other Feinberg scientists’ research interests:
  • Molecular Neuroscience
  • Molecular Neurobiology
  • Nerve-Muscle Induction Mechanisms
  • Neuroimmunology
  • Signal Transduction
  • Stress Signaling
  • Protein Misfolding and Aggregation
  • Cell Death Pathways
  • Cell Class Specific Gene Expression
  • Molecular Glial Biology
  • Neuroendocrinology

In sum, there is a nationwide shortage of neuropathologists with strong independent research programs. This fellowship is designed to help address this deficiency, and offers a diverse pool of excellent research opportunities. Allowing for a second research-oriented year will greatly increase the number and caliber of applicants.

Requirements
The candidate must be Board eligible or certified in either Anatomic Pathology or Anatomic and Clinical Pathology, or in some other medical specialty such as Neurology and have had one year Anatomic Pathology training. Candidates for combined training in Anatomic Pathology and Neuropathology will be considered.

Types and Numbers of Appointments

Fellowships in surgical pathology are offered by the University of Illinois College of Medicine. This is a re-organization of the fellowship program for UIC.

The fellowship in surgical pathology at University of Illinois Medical Center is for one or two years. This fellowship is designed for post graduates with excellent skills in surgical pathology who wish to develop expertise both in general surgical pathology as well as a subspecialty area such as breast, renal, liver, ophthalmologic, dermatologic and gastrointestinal disease and who also have an interest in medical education. Fellows will work with faculty to implement a new program in resident education, work with teaching pathologist assistants in optimizing work flow, frozen section, biopsy adequacy assessment, tumor banking and teaching residents gross diagnosis and dissection. The fellows will also be responsible for reviewing and independently diagnosing all cases received by the department of Pathology's outreach program. Fellows may also elect to review and signout with subspecialty pathologists, liver, dermatology, renal, and/or gastrointestinal cases. Two courses, one in medical education and one in clinical/ translational research are given over the course of one year. UICOM is one of two medical schools in the US with a department of medical education and the department of pathology shares faculty and courses with this department. A stellar candidate may wish to combine renal pathology training or course work in medical education with a two year fellowship to prepare the candidate for subspecialty renal pathology or directorship of a pathology residency program and / or overseeing medical student education.

The University of Illinois Medical Center is a 491-bed, tertiary care, university hospital, which receives 18,000 surgical pathology cases yearly.

Surgical Pathology Fellowship
Two Fellow Positions for 2022

The Surgical Pathology Fellowship at UTMB offers advanced training with in-depth exposure to the full spectrum of Surgical Pathology. The Division evaluates approximately 20,000 surgical pathology cases each year, with a great diversity of neoplastic and non-neoplastic specimens and a high degree of complexity. There are nine full-time faculty and numerous subspecialty consultants on the surgical pathology service. Sign out is by subspecialty, with each faculty member specializing in one primary and one or more secondary subspecialties. All of the major subspecialties are well represented and experienced during the fellowship including GI, GU, Gyn, Breast, Head and Neck, Thoracic, Bone and Soft Tissue, Pediatric, Medical Renal, Liver and Transplant pathology. Elective time in Neuropathology, Hematopathology, Dermatopathology, Cytopathology, Informatics or Molecular Pathology is also available to supplement the core rotations. There are significant opportunities for clinical and basic research. The range of experience ensures that the fellow will be well-prepared for a career in academia or in private practice, and there is a strong record of former fellows having accomplished those objectives.

Two surgical pathology fellows are accepted each year, for a one year term. Primary responsibilities consist of previewing cases, preparing reports, and presenting cases at tumor boards and other interdepartmental conferences. Fellows play an important role as teachers and mentors to the residents on the surgical pathology rotation, helping them develop diagnostic skills and showing interesting cases at the multi-headed microscope. In the gross room the fellows serve in an advisory capacity but do not routinely gross specimens. On the frozen section service, and in all other aspects of surgical pathology, the faculty provide the fellows with a nurturing and supportive environment as they develop their own skills and confidence to make the transition from 'trainee' to 'independent practitioner'.

The University of Texas Medical Branch, home to the first medical school in Texas, has been at the forefront of educational, research and clinical excellence since 1891. For more than 120 years, UTMB has graduated more health professionals, including physicians, nurses, allied health professionals and researchers, than any other academic health center in the state. There is a strong emphasis on graduate medical education, and approximately 560 interns, residents, and fellows are receiving graduate medical training.

UTMB's John Sealy Hospital in Galveston is home to a Level l Trauma Center, serving a nine-county area with a total population of more than 1.25 million people. UTMB's Jennie Sealy Hospital in Galveston opened in 2016 and offers private rooms in a patient- and family-centered environment that brings a unique approach to healing. More than 80 UTMB clinics at 30 locations promote wellness through prevention, and provide residents of the rapidly growing Bay Area and Galveston with access to a full range of primary and specialty care. The institution continues to grow, with a recently opened hospital in League City (a partnership with MD Anderson Cancer Center) and another new hospital opening in Clear Lake in 2019.

Requirements: Candidates must have completed 3 years of a GME approved AP or AP/CP residency training and be Board eligible in Pathology by the start date of the fellowship. Citizenship, permanent residency, or J1 visa status is also required.

Vermont, University of Vermont-Surgical

Surgical Pathology Fellowship Opening 2022-2023

Description: The cornerstone of the surgical pathology fellowship at UVM Medical Center and the University of Vermont is the Provisional Diagnosis Service, or "hotseat." It is an exciting rotation in which the senior resident or fellow is responsible for providing provisional diagnoses and triage for all resident bench cases processed in the Surgical Pathology Division.

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.

Community: Burlington is a four-season city with a multitude of cultural events and outdoor activities such as hiking, biking and skiing.

Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University-Surgical

Surgical Pathology Fellowship
2022-2023

This is a one-year ACGME-accredited program designed for individuals who wish to pursue intense training in Surgical Pathology in an environment that allows graduated responsibility and independent work necessary to build diagnostic confidence and maturity. This fellowship provides the necessary training for the fellow to function upon completion as an academic pathologist with responsibilities in service, teaching, and research, or as a community-based pathologist with responsibilities primarily in service and laboratory management. The Surgical Pathology laboratory at VCU Medical Center processes over 20,000 cases/year representing benign and malignant pathology, including biopsies as well as large complex resections, from all organ systems. Sign-out in Surgical Pathology is subspecialized, assuring trainee interaction with faculty with expertise in specific organ system pathology. The general framework of this fellowship includes: nine months rotations through various subspecialty services (GI and Liver pathology, Gynecologic Pathology, Genitourinary Pathology, Breast/Heart/Lung Pathology, General, Head and Neck Pathology, and Dermatopathology) and three months of elective rotations. The fellowship allows potential flexibility in the schedule, depending on the fellow's subspecialty interest (e.g., primarily Gynecologic Pathology focus). With sufficient preparation, the fellow "mock" signs out the cases as a junior attending with the resident, handles frozen sections and consultation cases, instructs the residents in processing complex specimens. Presentations at interdisciplinary conferences provides important correlation with clinical management consequences. Elective rotations are available in Neuropathology, Cytopathology, Molecular Pathology, or selected clinical pathology services (Hematopathology, Blood Bank). The fellow is expected to participate in one of the many departmental research projects, including presentation at national meetings and peer-reviewed publication encouraged.

Requirements: Candidates must have satisfactorily completed an accredited training program in AP or AP/CP and passed USMLE Step 3.

Stipends: Salary and benefits are commensurate with level of training.

Available Position(s): Scheduled to start accepting applications for the 2022 – 2023 academic year in July 2020 – one position.
