Cytopathology Fellowship

Our fellowship faculty includes four pathologists who are American Board of Pathology-qualified in cytopathology. We currently review more than 4,000 medical specimens, including nearly 1,300 FNAs and numerous thin-layer and conventional Pap tests, per year. Emphasis is placed on the correlation of surgical and cytopathologic findings. The program can be tailored to the fellow’s individual interests to include an intensive overview of cytopathology and a concentration in one or more other specialty areas.

Fellows are expected to participate in related interdepartmental conferences. Opportunities for and support in research activities are available throughout Program.

Molecular biology, immunohistochemistry, cytometry, in addition to other anatomic pathology facilities, are available for the study of cytopathology-related issues. Lecture series, comprehensive teaching conferences and computerized library and record retrieval are also available for those enrolled in the Fellowship Program.
