Arkansas, Arkana Laboratories-Renal

Arkana Laboratories - Renal Pathology Fellowship Opening for 2022-2023

The Arkana renal pathology fellowship is a one-year program designed to train a well-rounded academic renal pathologist. With more than 18,000 medical kidney biopsies each year (native and transplant) and 15 full-time 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, fellows 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. Our fellows are encouraged to participate in national meetings, engage in social media outlets, and develop leadership skills that will serve them throughout their careers.

Our fellowship is designed to maximize learning and minimize extraneous "scut work" without educational value. Fellows are welcome to work on projects on the weekend but there is no weekend on-call responsibility in fellowship year. Above all, we are proud of providing a warm and supportive environment with a staff of pathologists eager to help fellows immediately step into a full-time renal pathology position upon successful completion of the program.

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.

Wisconsin, Medical College of Wisconsin-Cytopathology

Department of Pathology
Cytopathology Fellowship
Opening for 2021-2022 and 2022-2023

The mission of the Cytopathology fellowship is to provide a climate and foundation for a physician to excel and develop special competence in the diagnosis and evaluation of clinical cytology specimens and to develop an interest in research application of the cytologic method. As such, this one-year, ACGME-accredited fellowship provides advanced training in diagnostic Cytopathology and the performance of fine needle aspiration biopsies with strong encouragement to participate in clinical research.

The cytology laboratory examines approximately 60,000 cases annually of which about 4,500 are non-gynecologic. Training includes supervised sign-out, use and interpretation of ancillary tests, and immediate assessment and triaging of needle aspirates, particularly in the busy pancreatic EUS and guided thoracic FNA services. The fellow is exposed to various cytopreparatory techniques throughout the training period and is expected to occupy the “hot seat” and be the center point of the cytology service. The fellow assumes increased responsibility with time and participates in multidisciplinary conferences and teaching of pathology residents.

Ancillary clinical resources including flow cytometry, immunochemistry, and molecular diagnostics are available. Clinical and translational research performed under faculty supervision, leading to abstracts and publications, is strongly encouraged. The newly developed translational research facility provides support for research endeavors, and the fellow is expected to take advantage of it. The laboratory is fully computerized allowing for retrieval of specimens for research and teaching.

Requirements: Board eligible/certified in AP. Ability to obtain a Wisconsin Medical License.

Applications: Currently accepting applications. Submit a CAP Standardized Application for Pathology Fellowship, current CV, personal statement, USMLE results, ECFMG certification (if applicable) and three letters of recommendation by email to:
