Fellowship in Cytopathology

A one-year fellowship, our ACGME-accredited program offers advanced training in diagnostic clinical cytopathology. Experience is provided through daily signout of gynecologic and non-gynecologic specimens, as well as training in performance and interpretation of fine needle aspiration biopsies. The Scott & White Cytology Laboratory processes a total of 45,000 specimens annually, of which 3,000 are non-gynecologic and 2,000 are fine needle aspirations. Participation in conferences and teaching of pathology residents and cytotechnologists is required. Involvement in clinical research is also encouraged. Diagnostic and research facilities are available in molecular biology, immunocytochemistry, electron microscopy and flow cytometry. The fellow participates in all aspects of the service and is given progressive responsibilities. Devoted time to specimen preparation, laboratory management and quality issues is provided.

Requirements: Candidates must have completed AP or AP/CP pathology residency and be certified or eligible in AP or AP/CP.
