The UNM cytopathology fellowship is a one year, ACGME accredited, predominantly clinical experience that occurs at UNM Health Sciences Center and its supporting clinical laboratory, TriCore Reference Laboratories (TRL). Emphasis is placed on cementing diagnostic accuracy in Pap smears and non-gyn specimens such as fine needle aspirate (FNA) specimens, endoscopic-guided biopsies, and specimens obtained by washings, lavage, and brushings. During the clinical months, the fellow will also learn to perform ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration biopsies from four faculty members specialty trained in this growing area of cytopathology. One month may be devoted to research or relevant pathology elective. Laboratory management principles are taught both at UNM HSC and TRL and include Quality Assurance/ Quality Control (QA/QC) specific to the cytopathology laboratory, new technique analysis, and personnel/budgeting issues. Research comprises utilizing techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), and immunocytochemistry applied to cytology specimens to hone diagnostic and prognostic information. A plethora of cytology specimens are available (more than 90,000 Pap smears and 4800 non-gyns including FNA's collected, processed, and analyzed per year at the training sites), but the fellow also (when time permits in this busy year!) reviews a large teaching set and adds to it. At the successful completion of this year, the fellow is eligible to sit for subspecialty certification in cytopathology.

Nashville, Tennessee
Openings for 2023
The Vanderbilt University Medical Center Hematopathology Fellowship Program has an opening for a one-year fellowship starting July 2023 that includes adult and pediatric hematopathology, flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and molecular pathology as well as coagulation, wet hematology, and benign hematology.
Vanderbilt is at the very cutting edge of incorporating advanced diagnostics into patient care. Through innovative technological interfaces with the electronic medical record, the hematopathologist can quickly review a patient’s history and previous lab results to direct the entire panel of lab tests that need to be ordered for every patient receiving a bone marrow biopsy. Once the results from the cytogenetic, molecular and flow cytometry reports are available, they are incorporated into an over-arching comprehensive report that includes not only diagnostic information but also specifies prognosis and optimal methods for minimal residual disease detection. This suite of services integrating the ordering and interpretation of morphologic and laboratory data is the Diagnostic Management Team (DMT). Through the hematologic malignancy DMT project, the pathologist guides clinical decision-making and effective test utilization in diagnosing and treating hematologic disorders.
The division evaluates approximately 5,400 Hematopathology cases including 3,000 in-house bone marrows, 550 in-house tissue biopsies, 1,000 body fluids, and 1,100 consults/referrals, as well as over 5,000 flow cytometry cases per year from Vanderbilt Hospital and Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt and an additional 900 morphology cases and nearly 1,000 flow cytometry cases per year from the VA Tennessee Valley Healthcare System.
