FELLOWSHIP IN CYTOPATHOLOGY
Description
This ACGME accredited fellowship is one year of intensive training in all aspects of cytopathology. A critical and unique part of this fellowship will be the understanding and application of advanced molecular techniques to cytodiagnostics.
Educational Objectives
• Competency in the morphologic
criteria in all types of cytologic specimens and preparations
• Ability to incorporate molecular and other advanced diagnostic
techniques into the practice of cytopathology
• Ability to make diagnoses and clinical recommendations on all types
of cytologic specimens
• Understanding of both the capabilities and the limitations of assessment
of a disease process by cytology
Activities
• Participation in review of
both GYN and non-GYN material, and in the performance and analysis of
fine needle aspirations
• Attendance and participation in teaching conferences related to
cytopathology
• Personal research projects mentored by department faculty
A second year of funding may be available for continuation of research begun during the fellowship.
Requirements
Three years of training in anatomic pathology or four years of training in combined anatomic and clinical pathology.
Stipend
Commensurate with hospital policy.

FELLOWSHIP IN GASTROINTESTINAL PATHOLOGY
Description
This fellowship is a one- to three-year program combining training in diagnostic gastrointestinal and hepatic pathology, with opportunities for training in basic research. The program in gastrointestinal pathology reports on about 6,500 gastrointestinal and pancreatobiliary specimens and over 500 liver biopsies per year, including those from a liver transplantation program.
Program Strengths
• Intensive personal clinical
training by dedicated gastrointestinal pathologists
• Strong and diverse clinical gastroenterology and hepatology programs
at Yale
• Extensive teaching materials within the department
• A strong and long-established interest at Yale University in diseases
of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, biliary tract, and pancreas
• Outstanding basic research programs in each area of subspecialty
Year 1: Primary commitment will be given to an active clinical service, with the opportunity to conduct clinical research.
Year 2: Major commitment will be given to research, with clinical service work on rotation.
The fellow will take a major role in clinicopathologic conferences and will assist in the training of first and second year residents in gastrointestinal pathology.
Research may be undertaken as part of active interdepartmental research programs aimed at understanding the pathobiology and improving the diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal, pancreatobiliary, and hepatic diseases. Fellows may also collaborate with research groups in other departments.
Requirements
Three years of training in anatomic pathology or four years combined anatomic and clinical pathology.
Stipend
Commensurate with hospital policy.
Application
Applications should be submitted by October 30.

FELLOWSHIP IN GENERAL SURGICAL PATHOLOGY
Description
This one-year fellowship is designed to develop diagnostic expertise in general surgical pathology for either academic or community settings. One to three fellows will be accepted each year.
The year includes core rotation experiences on General Surgical Pathology (academic and community settings), "Hot-Seat" and Frozen Section.
Elective time is available for focused subspecialty rotations in areas such as breast, gynecologic, gastrointestinal pathology, hematopathology, among others.
Fellow responsibilities include: workup of consultation cases, supervision of pathology residents, sign-out experiences and teaching. The fellow is a vital member of multi-disciplinary tumor boards, and presents at departmental and interdepartmental clinical conferences.
Protected time is provided for fellows to complete a research project under the supervision of senior faculty. The scientific environment is particularly well suited to encourage translational research bringing advances in the basic sciences to clinical investigation.
Requirements
Three years of training in anatomic pathology or four years of training in combined anatomic and clinical pathology.
Stipends
Commensurate with hospital policy.
Application
Application deadline is August 15 for positions starting the following July.

FELLOWSHIP IN GYNECOLOGIC PATHOLOGY
Description
This fellowship is a one- to two-year program combining training in diagnostic gynecologic and gestational surgical pathology with training in translational research. The Fellowship will consist of specialty surgical pathology sign-out training and involvement in ongoing or novel research projects. The fellowship in Gynecologic and Gestational Pathology benefits from the outstanding clinical material afforded by the Yale-New Haven Hospital and world class gynecologic oncologists. This setting generates approximately 10,000 surgical specimens yearly. Gynecologic pathology at Yale serves in a consultative fashion to neighboring hospitals in New Haven, as well as to national and international institutions.
Educational Objectives
• Competency in the morphologic criteria in all types
of gynecologic specimens
• Ability to incorporate molecular and other advanced diagnostic
techniques into the practice of gynecologic pathology.
• Ability to make diagnoses and differential diagnoses on all types
of gynecologic specimens
• Ability to understand the clinical impact of the diagnoses.
• Understanding of both the capabilities and the limitations of assessment
of a disease process microscopically.
Year 1: Primary commitment will be given to an active clinical service, with the opportunity to conduct translational research.
Year 2: Major commitment will be given to research while remaining active in the clinical service. This second year of training is optional and will be discussed after the first six months of training.
The fellows will take a major role in clinicopathologic and biopsy-cytology correlation conferences and will assist in the training of first and second year residents in gynecologic pathology. Fellows are expected to conduct translational research projects under the supervision of senior faculty. Research may be also undertaken as part of active interdepartmental research programs aimed at understanding the pathobiology and improving the diagnosis and management of gynecologic diseases.
Requirements
Three years of training in anatomic pathology or four years combined anatomic and clinical pathology.
Stipend
Commensurate with hospital policy.
