Education is provided in all the major diagnostic techniques, including flow cytometry and clinical molecular diagnosis. The fellowship consists of a structured intensive core rotation through the clinical areas followed by research during which clinical duties are reduced. A major goal of the fellowship is mastery of a hematopathology area leading to publication in quality journals. The fellowship prepares the trainee for successful completion of the hematology examination given by the American Board of Pathology. This requirement may be waived by the program director in exceptional cases.
Appointment is for one year and subject to renewal for a second year.
Salary is based on the schedule for residents at an equivalent level. Fellows are encouraged to apply for extramural funding if they want additional years of research experience.
