Missouri, Washington University School of Medicine-Hematopathology

Washington University School of Medicine
Hematopathology / Hematology Fellowship
Opening for 2024 - 2025

Description: The Hematopathology Section of the Department of Pathology and Immunology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has an opening for fellowship year beginning in 2024. We offer a one-year clinical fellowship for qualified applicants. This service includes adult and pediatric hematopathology, flow cytometry including Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) testing and exposure to molecular and cytogenetics laboratory testing in hematopoietic malignancies. Approximately 3 months of assigned elective time is provided to cover benign/wet hematology, performance of bone marrow biopsy procedure, research, molecular diagnostics, genomics and/or cytogenetics.

The large referral quaternary care and urban hospital system associated with Washington University in St. Louis provides a broad range of cases comprising ~3500 in-house marrows (cores and aspirates), ~1500 lymph nodes and other surgical and non-surgical specimens, and ~1000 consult cases per year. The Adult and Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant services together perform more than 400 transplants annually. Due to the high volume and diversity of cases, the fellows gain extensive diagnostic experience in the field of hematopathology, including uncommon disease entities, such as mature T-cell and NK-cell neoplasms and immunodeficiency-associated lymphoproliferative disorders. The fellow's responsibilities are broad and an increasingly independent approach to case work-up is encouraged. The fellow is regarded as the initial pathologist on all cases and is expected to write pathology reports integrating morphologic description and all ancillary studies (immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, molecular and cytogenetic testing results). The fellow is seen as the primary contact for referring physicians and will work closely with the clinical hematology and/or oncology fellows and faculty, gaining insights into the clinical management of patients.

The fellows present weekly at the lymphoma and bone marrow transplant conferences, monthly at cytogenetics and molecular correlation conferences, and at journal clubs assigned to them. The fellows are expected to participate in hematopathology-related translational projects for which funding is available. Trainees with strong basic research interests can opt to be a part of a stimulating and collegial research community with top-notch facilities and resources as their future goals. Exposure to next generation sequencing data analysis of targeted cancer genes associated with hematologic malignancies can be obtained during the elective time, if the fellow desires additional clinical exposure to this evolving field of molecular hematology.

This program provides a strong basis for clinical practice including challenging cases in both adult and pediatric hematopathology, as well as opportunities for cutting-edge basic, clinical, and translational research. Upon completion of the program, the fellow will have the necessary skills and experience to successfully pursue a clinical and/or academic career in hematopathology.

Requirements: Applicants must be Board eligible or certified in anatomic and/or clinical pathology. To apply, submit all materials via our website online application system.

1. Online application.
2. CV with names of 3 references.

Forensic Pathology Fellowship
University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center
Openings for 2023 and 2024

Under the tutelage of eight board-certified forensic pathologists, this one-year fellowship program prepares pathologists for careers in forensic pathology. The State of New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator (OMI), a statewide medical examiner system, is located on the campus of the UNM School of Medicine. This arrangement ensures that the state is provided with excellent facilities and death investigation, as well as affording outstanding educational and research opportunities in forensic pathology. It is in this fertile environment that the forensic pathology fellow conducts a substantial number of medicolegal autopsies on routine and unusual cases from around the state and is given substantial control of cases (natural, accidental, suicidal and homicidal) at all levels, commensurate with their increasing ability. Training during the year includes rotations in toxicology, forensic odontology, forensic anthropology, and the state and local crime labs. The OMI has in-house CT and MRI, as well as an experienced forensic radiologist. The trainee is afforded the opportunity to testify in court, under supervision and direction, and is also encouraged to witness testimony by others who are experienced in courtroom dialogue. In this system, consultations are presented to all of the senior pathologists for review and advice. The trainee is allowed to actively participate in these interesting consultations. In addition to the case-by-case instruction, the trainee will be involved in didactic teaching and should be a participant in the annual Medicolegal Investigation of Death seminar conducted each year for investigators and law enforcement personnel.

The Vanderbilt University Medical Center Hematopathology Fellowship Program has an opening for a one-year fellowship starting July 2024 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.

Virginia, University of Virginia-Cytopathology

Cytopathology Fellowship
2 positions 2024-2025

Program Overview
The Cytopathology Fellowship centers around patient care responsibilities leading to excellence in the field of cytopathology. In addition to service responsibilities, cytopathology fellows assist in the overall training of residents in cytopathology, particularly during microscopic sign-out sessions and in the performance and interpretation of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) specimens.

During the one year fellowship, the individual microscopically evaluates abnormal Pap tests, body cavity fluid specimens, and FNAB specimens prior to their sign-out by the attending cytopathologist. Fellows are initially trained in the performance of FNAB, and after competence is attained, perform the technique independently. As diagnostic skills are mastered, fellows are allowed to give preliminary FNAB results to clinicians prior to their showing the cases to faculty. The fellow spends approximately 15% of his/her time on the surgical pathology consult service to hone his/her surgical pathology skills as we believe excellence in surgical pathology facilitates mastery of cytopathology. The practical learning is enhanced with didactic lectures (given by faculty and fellows), journal clubs, unknown cases, online teaching modules, and hands-on experience in the HPV and cytology preparatory laboratories. Numerous opportunities in departmental research activities are available; involvement in research activities is encouraged but is not mandatory. The goal is for the fellows to finish the year with a strong grasp of diagnostics, laboratory management, and federal regulations involved in managing an academic or community hospital based cytopathology laboratory.

Fellowship Requirements
Applicants must have an MD degree (or foreign equivalent with ECFMG certification) and be board eligible or certified in anatomic or anatomic and clinical pathology.

Stipend
Stipend is commensurate with the applicant’s postgraduate training in pathology.
