The cytopathology fellow will experience preliminary sign-out of non-gynecologic and gynecologic specimens, gynecologic pap smear/cervical biopsy correlations, and performing and interpreting FNA under supervision of a staff cytopathologist. Twelve months are spent in clinical service as it relates to cytopathology with access to surgical pathology, frozen sections, molecular pathology, HPV DNA analysis, image analysis, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry and research associated with cytopathology. The fellow will participate in the cytopathology teaching of cytotechnologists, medical students and residents. He/she may also participate in the regular resident microscopic seminars, hospital tumor boards, cytopathology teleconferences, CAP proficiency tests and formal cytopathology lectures. The fellow may participate in inspections as they relate to certification in cytology and quality assurance. Strengths of the program include the diversity of the cytopathology faculty as well as their strengths in gynecologic pathology, gynecologic and non-gynecologic cytology, flow cytometry DNA analysis and image analysis, and fine needle aspiration cytology.

Dermatology experience is patient care oriented with the fellow assigned patients in a clinic setting in the Division of Dermatology.

The dermatopathology portion of the fellowship involves service, teaching and clinical or basic research.

The fellow conducts a weekly teaching conference with dermatology residents using appropriate slide material to review common and unusual cases. The fellow is expected to develop a research interest and prepare a paper suitable for presentation at a national meeting and publication. Opportunities for basic research are available. Most techniques of molecular biology are available, allowing for the development of individual research projects. The Department of Pathology has laboratory techniques and instrumentation expected at a tertiary care center.

Requirements: Board eligible or board certified in pathology or dermatology.
