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.

Description: This fellowship is a one-year, ACGME-accredited program that offers advanced training in diagnostic cytopathology, with equal emphasis on gynecologic, non-gynecologic and fine-needle aspiration cytology. The fellow will be expected to work closely with residents rotating through the cytopathology service. The fellow will alternate with residents on the Head and Neck tumor board presentation schedule. The fellow will have increasing levels of responsibility commensurate with level of performance. Strong emphasis will be placed on the integration of cytopathologic findings with corresponding histologic findings and ancillary study results. Diagnostic, research and teaching skills are emphasized in our collegial academic environment. This program would be a good fit for a self-motivated trainee with a strong interest in Cytopathology and a desire to start functioning at the level of a junior faculty member, with the caveat that the fellow will not have signout privileges. Strengths of this program include collegial faculty throughout the department and the opportunity to benefit from interactions with other outstanding departmental laboratories such as Molecular Pathology, Microbiology and Hematopathology/Flow Cytometry. Research projects may be developed according to the interests of the fellow.
ThinPrep technology, including the ThinPrep Imaging System, is utilized in the laboratory. The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) Cytopathology Laboratory also performs HPV testing in-house on the Roche COBAS platform, ensuring exposure to molecular techniques and clinical applications with which the cytopathologist needs to be conversant. The fellow will also become familiar with the quality control and quality assurance activities of the laboratory as well as with technical and professional billing considerations. The fellow will have the opportunity to perform superficial fine-needle aspiration biopsies in outpatient and inpatient settings and participate in the assessment of adequacy of image-guided fine-needle aspiration specimens, although these activities are not dependent on the fellow.
Over the course of the fellowship, the fellow will have the opportunity to develop the necessary medical knowledge and interactive skills to communicate effectively with medical professionals and patients. Upon completion of this fellowship program, the fellow should be ready to practice independently in private, commercial or academic settings and be able to meet all competency requirements for the daily practice of cytopathology.
