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.

University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center
Openings for 2023
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.

Genitourinary Pathology Fellowship
Positions Available: 2022-2023, 2023-2024
Dr. Xiaoyan Liao leads this one-year, non-accredited department fellowship in Genitourinary Pathology. The program was established in 2005, and is divided into three primary activities: 1) clinically oriented work which includes supervised sign out of genitourinary case material and presentation at clinical conferences; 2) clinical/pathologic research and/or more basic bench research; 3) teaching of residents and medical students.
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.

Hematopathology Fellowship
Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology
Vanderbilt University Medical Center
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.

Neuropathology Fellowship
1 Position: 2021-2023
2 Positions: 2023-2025
Program Overview:
The overall goal of the Neuropathology Program is to provide a flexible, full-time educational program in both diagnostic and experimental neuropathology. The Program encompasses the varied aspects of modern neuropathology, with an emphasis on academic neuropathology. The training program is configured in a two-year format. It is the intent and expectation of the program that all trainees will successfully pursue American Board of Pathology examination in Neuropathology.
The Neuropathology Division is composed of two full-time neuropathologists, one full-time research investigator, one research instructor, and one neuropathology instructor. The variety of pathologic entities seen at the University of Virginia are extensive and include the areas of neuro-oncology, pituitary pathology, neurodegenerative disorders, infections, metabolic, cerebrovascular, and immunological CNS diseases, and neuromuscular pathology. This reflects the tertiary nature of the UVA Medical Center and the activity and quality of the Neurology and Neurosurgery services. In addition, materials are examined from in-house and external consultations referred by the Neuro-Oncology Center. Strong emphasis is placed on the application of special histochemical stains, immunohistochemistry, and in-situ hybridization in the comprehensive evaluation of tumor specimens.
Fellowship Requirements:
Applicants must have an MD degree (or foreign equivalent with current ECFMG certification) and be board eligible or certified in anatomic pathology.
Stipend:
Stipend is commensurate with the applicant’s postgraduate training in pathology.
