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.

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.

Surgical Pathology Fellowship
Accepting Applications for 2022 - 2023 (1 Opening) and 2023 - 2024 (1 Opening)
Accepting Applications for 2024 - 2025 Starting June 2022
This is a one-year ACGME-accredited program that offers comprehensive training in Surgical Pathology, in an environment that allows graduated responsibility and independent work to build excellent diagnostic skills and confidence.
The fellowship is designed to prepare trainees for a career as general or subspecialty pathologists. The sign-out in Surgical Pathology follows a subspecialty model, with services including breast/ thoracic, gastrointestinal/ liver, gynecologic, genitourinary, bone/ soft tissue, head and neck pathology and dermatopathology. The schedule is flexible and allows fellows to rotate through all subspecialties or focus for an extended period on subspecialties of particular interest. There are no responsibilities for grossing or autopsies. Elective rotations are available in any area of pathology.
Fellows have an initial period of working closely with faculty to develop advanced diagnostic and reporting skills. Subsequently, the fellow will assume graduated responsibility for sign-out of institutional and consultation cases, independent intraoperative frozen section evaluation, and resident instruction. Presentations at multidisciplinary conferences are paired with subspecialty service rotations. There are multiple opportunities for residents and medical student teaching. The fellow is expected to participate in one of the many departmental research projects, and peer-reviewed publication is encouraged.
The Surgical Pathology laboratory at VCU Medical Center processes over 25,000 cases a year, comprised of medical and complex oncologic surgical specimens. Resources for clinical and research activities include immunohistochemistry, molecular pathology, tissue microarrays, and bioinformatics. The trainees completing this fellowship have successfully taken positions as academic pathologists with responsibilities in service, teaching, and research, or as community-based pathologists with responsibilities primarily in service and laboratory management.
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): Currently accepting applications for one position for the 2022 - 2023 academic year and one position for the 2023 - 2024 academic year. Applications for the 2024 - 2025 academic year will be accepted starting June 2022.

Cytopathology Fellowship
Opening for 2022-2023 and 2023-2024
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.
