Fellowship in Blood Banking / Transfusion Medicine
Openings for 2025-2026
Applications will be accepted in 2023

This is an exciting and innovative program that incorporates a required 24 week core component on the transfusion service and an 8 week core rotations on the coagulation and hemostasis service. This will be followed by 4 week rotations on the apheresis service, the hematology/oncology service and the American Red Cross Donor Collection Center. A 4 week elective period may be done either at Vanderbilt University, or as an away-rotation at another institution, including the possibility of a global health rotation in transfusion medicine in another country.

A major strength of this Fellowship compared with other TM fellowship programs in the US, is the foundation it will provide in delivering service through Diagnostic Management Teams (DMT) - an innovative health delivery modality pioneered in our department at VUMC, now being adopted at numerous other US medical institutions. The program also includes daily Morning Rounds with the attending physician and residents, as well as daily supervision of the Stem Cell Collection and Photopheresis Unit.

The fellowship includes a strong didactic component with regular lecturers, seminars, journal clubs, case conferences. The fellow will be required to present regularly at these meetings and will also regularly attend and participate in various QA/QC meetings including the Hospital Transfusion Committee. In addition, the fellow will regularly participate with the faculty in seminar meetings in hematology/oncology and in pediatrics/neonatology in order to give the fellow broad exposure to all fields of transfusion medicine. The fellowship also includes a 26-lecture series on "Fundamentals of Laboratory, Business and Human Resource Management" offered by faculty from the Owen Graduate School of Management and the Department of PMI that is attended by all residents and fellows in the department and encompasses topics in health policy; laboratory analytics, business management; as well as topics human resource management, negotiation and conflict management. In addition, the department has now established the Vanderbilt Pathology Education Research Group (VPERG) with a weekly lecture and research meeting series to promote education research in pathology for fellows, residents and faculty.

The fellow will also complete a small research project under faculty supervision. Funds will be provided to attend at least one conference during the year, and a $600 stipend will be provided for books and supplies. Publication of research, review and/or commentary papers will be strongly encouraged.

Located in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee, Vanderbilt University is one of the nation's leading research and teaching institutions with undergraduate medical programs contiguous on the same campus.

Hematopathology Fellowship
Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology
Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Nashville, Tennessee
Openings for 2025

The Vanderbilt University Medical Center Hematopathology Fellowship Program has an opening for a one-year fellowship starting July 2025 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.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis starting June 2023. To apply, please submit application*, cover letter, CV, and 3 letters of recommendation (sent directly from the letter writer), via email to
