Renal Pathology Fellowship
One Opening for 2026-27
Two Openings for 2027-28
The Arkana renal pathology fellowship is a one-year program designed to train a well-rounded academic renal pathologist. With more than 25,000 medical kidney biopsies each year (native and transplant) and 24 renal pathologists from different training backgrounds, Arkana provides an unparalleled resource for training. We foster an environment in which every trainee can become an expert in diagnostic renal pathology, developing a full understanding of the lesions that can be seen in medical kidney disease.
Because it is important for a renal pathologist to be able to design and carry out academic research, fellows will learn how to develop a research project, write a manuscript, and navigate the peer-reviewed medical literature submissions process. Our fellows are required to participate in journal clubs, national meetings, engage in social medical outlets, and develop leadership skills that will serve them throughout their careers.
Our fellowship is designed to maximize learning and minimize extraneous "scut work" without educational value. Fellows are welcome to work on projects on the weekend but there is no weekend on-call responsibility in fellowship year. Above all, we are proud of providing a warm and supportive environment with a staff of pathologist eager to help fellows immediately step into a full-time renal pathology position upon successful completion of the program.

UCLA General Surgical Pathology Fellowship
2026-2027 Academic Year
Program Description
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is currently accepting applications for its one-year, non-ACGME accredited fellowship in General Surgical Pathology, for the 2026-2027 academic year.
The General Surgical Pathology fellows rotate through the equivalent of month-long assignments at a senior or supervisorial level at two different hospitals. The year is intended to provide the fellow with the last layer of confidence necessary to practice surgical pathology independently in a variety of settings from small community hospitals to large community hospitals or academic institutions. As a Junior Attending at the main campus (UCLA Center for Health Sciences/Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center), the fellow will rotate on different surgical pathology subspecialty services, previewing cases with the residents on service, including challenging outside consult cases, and presenting cases to attendings, ready to be finalized. The fellow independently orders ancillary studies as appropriate. Additional duties include presenting at tumor boards, supervising/teaching residents in the gross room and in the preparation of their write ups, and preparing telepathology consult cases. The fellow will also rotate for the equivalent of 2-3 months at Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center (a 281-bed hospital with a large surgical oncology division), which provides exposure to a true general surgical pathology practice setting in a busy hybrid community-academic hospital. At Santa Monica, the fellow reviews and writes up all surgical excision cases, biopsies, and cytology cases independently. Cases are general in scope, ranging daily from small biopsies to small excisions to large oncologic resection cases. At both the main campus and Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center, the expectation is that the fellow will be able to prepare a thorough and final report on most cases, double scoping (consulting) with attendings on a minority of cases which require consultation before finalization.
In addition, during a 4-week frozen section rotation at The Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, the fellow will serve as the frozen section/gross room supervisor to oversee the preparation, interpretation, and communication of intraoperative consults, and will guide residents and pathology assistants in the gross analysis and processing of specimens for frozen section and tissue procurement.
As part of graduated responsibility, the fellow will have the opportunity to independently sign-out clinical cases and perform intraoperative/frozen section consultations when the fellow is ready. There will be a proctoring process in place to determine the fellow’s readiness to have these clinical privileges, and the expectation is that all fellows will progress to independent sign-out by the end of their fellowship.
Fellows are also granted 4-8 weeks of elective time to pursue additional training in any subspecialty areas of interest (e.g., lymphoma, cytology/FNA) and/or to pursue research.

Description:
The cornerstone of the surgical pathology fellowship at UVM Medical Center and the University of Vermont is the Provisional Diagnosis Service, or "hotseat." It is an exciting rotation in which the senior resident or fellow is responsible for providing provisional diagnoses and triage for all resident bench cases processed in the Surgical Pathology Division. The hot seat is located in the hub of our sign out area directly across from the cutting room and histology and in the same suite with the attending staff, surgical pathology office, and Cytology Division. Hot seat rotations are each one month long because of the intensity of this service. Previous fellows and residents who have worked in this position find the experience to be enlightening and profoundly educational as they directly interact with clinicians, surgical pathology attendings, and mentor junior residents. The typical day starts with evaluation of routine and expedited biopsies followed by non-biopsy excision specimens. In the afternoon, the hot seat is responsible for intraoperative consultations together with one of the resident bench attendings. The frozen section room is immediately across the hall and adjacent to the routine cutting room. The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine accessions approximately 47,000 surgical specimens, 5,500 non-gyn and fine needle aspirate cytology specimens, and over 22,000 gyn cytology specimens per year.
