Cytopathology Fellowship Description:
This is a one-year cytopathology training program at The Ohio State
University Medical Center, which includes the Arthur G. James Cancer
Hospital and Research Institute. The cytology laboratory performs approximately 55,000 tests
per year. This includes 4,500
non-gynecologic, and about 1,700 FNA specimens. 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.
Approximately 10-11 months are spent in clinical service as it
relates to cytopathology. The
remaining time may be spent in 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. Requirements:
Candidate should be AP/CP Board eligible or Board certified. Stipend:
Support will commensurate with year of post-graduate training.
