DEVELOPMENTAL AND PEDIATRIC PATHOLOGY FELLOWSHIP
University of Tennessee
Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
Memphis, TN
(posted 2-4-2008)
Applications are being accepted for July, 2010 to June, 2011, for this one year ACGME approved program. During the year the fellow will spend four months each at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (tumor pathology and advanced molecular methods), LeBonheur Children's Medical Center (general pediatric surgical and autopsy pathology and clinical pathology), and the final four months in the central department for perinatal and placental pathology at The Regional Medical Center (Memphis City Hospital).
During the entire year the fellow is on call to the Regional Forensic Center for cases of SIDS and other unexplained deaths in the pediatric age range when requested by the Medical Examiner of Shelby County. An elective activity (but not full service time) during the central UT rotation is to attend morning neonatal working rounds for several weeks. Another available elective is two weeks in cytogenetics (usually the second half of July). Schedule and cases permitting, the fellow will participate in autopsy investigation of maternal deaths.
At the conclusion of the year the fellow will have had direct instructional experience in the four principal realms of developmental and pediatric pathology: (a) placentology, reproductive (obstetrical) pathology, and perinatal pathology, (b) pediatric surgical and autopsy pathology with emphasis on neoplastic disorders, (c) pediatric clinical pathology and current molecular medicine, and (d) pediatric age forensic pathology, and be eligible to take, at the next sitting, the subspecialty board.
The successful candidate will have passed parts I, II, and III of USMLE and be fully board eligible or already certified in AP-CP. The fellow will be required to become board certified in AP-CP during the year, if not prior to the start of the fellowship year, for issuance of the certificate of satisfactory completion by the program. Active scholarship, including presentations at departmental Tuesday seminars and regional meetings, is encouraged.

PEDIATRIC PATHOLOGY FELLOWSHIP
Columbus Children's Hospital and Ohio State University, Columbus OH
(posted 3-26-2007)
The Department of Laboratory Medicine at Children's Hospital, Columbus, Ohio, offers an ACGME approved, one or two year fellowship training in Pediatric Pathology. Our program is flexible with regard to elective choices and research projects.
Our staff includes a doctoral staff of eighteen including ten American Board of Pathology Certified Pediatric Pathologists. We process more than 8,000 surgical pathology cases, 100 autopsies and 400 bone marrows per year. Faculty subspecialties and areas of interest include Pediatric Tumor Pathology, Perinatal Pathology, Electron Microscopy, Pediatric Hematopathology, Neuropathology and Muscle Pathology, Pediatric GI Pathology, Cardiac Pathology, Informatics, and non-gyn Cytology. We have a full service histology laboratory and digital imaging center within the department.
The Clinical Laboratories perform approximately 1.7 million tests per year. Divisions of the Clinical Laboratory include Cytogenetics, Molecular Genetics, Transfusion Medicine, Special and routine Hematology, Special and routine Chemistry, Microbiology, Virology, TDM/Toxicology, Metabolic Disease Testing, Out-patient and Reference Laboratory Services. Both Clinical Laboratory and Anatomic Pathology departments are housed in 50,000 square feet of a new building at Children's Hospital.
Learning and research opportunities are greatly enhanced by the fact that Dr. Stephen Qualman, Chief of our department, is also the Director of the Center for Childhood Cancer (where 11 additional cancer scientists conduct research), and the Director of the Children's Oncology Group Biopathology Center. Our department is also home for the archives of the Children's Cancer Group and Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study. Combined, these resources offer wide opportunities to join cutting edge NIH-funded research in both basic and clinical science.
Our Pediatric Pathology Fellowship program has been accredited since 1953, making it perhaps the first training program in the field.
