Cytopathology Fellowship

This one year ACGME-accredited program is designed to provide comprehensive training in diagnostic cytopathology and the performance of Fine Needle Aspirations (FNA's). The cytology laboratory evaluates approximately 20,000 gynecologic and 3,000 non-gynecologic specimens of which 1500 are FNA's. The fellow will become proficient in laboratory management, diagnostics; including the performance and interpretation of FNA's and new technologies; including the ThinPrep Pap Test, HPV-DNA testing, and medical informatics. The cytopathology section utilizes video streaming for immediate evaluation and static imaging for archival purposes on the picture archiving and communication system (PACS).This cutting edge experience provides fellows comprehensive training in the new technologies benefiting cytopathology today. The department has a strong academic mission, and opportunities for cytology-based research including molecular diagnostics are provided. The fellow will participate in the education of residents and medical students on cytology rotations. Educational opportunities exist for rotation at the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene (including its large volume of gynecologic specimens, Cytogenetics Laboratory, and School of Cytotechnology). The fellow is expected to complete a research project for publication. Upon completion, the fellow will be prepared to direct a university-based or community practice cytopathology laboratory.
