Allegheny Cytopathology Fellowship
Pittsburgh, PA
Opening for July 1, 2025
The 1-year fellowship in cytopathology offers advanced training in cytopathology with emphasis on FNA biopsy and the selective applications of ancillary techniques. Fellows are actively involved in the practice of cytopathology including gynecologic and non-gynecologic pathology specimens. We accessioned approximately 14,000 GYN and 8,000 non-GYN specimens. Fellows receive increasing levels of responsibility commensurate with their level of performance. Emphasis is also placed on the integration of surgical pathology with cytology and the use of both air-dried Diff-Quik and alcohol fixed stains as well as liquid-based monolayer preparations. The fellows participate in the service, teaching and research activities of the cytology division. Of the more than 1,500 FNA biopsies at Allegheny General Hospital annually, the fellows assist and perform all preliminary interpretations and also review all consultation cases. Fellows also participate in a number of ongoing conferences, resident teaching and clinically applied research projects.
Stipends and benefits:
Commensurate with the level of training.

Cytopathology Fellowship
Openings for 2025 and 2026
Description: The Department of Laboratory Medicine at the Geisinger Medical Center offers a one-year ACGME-approved fellowship experience in Cytopathology, with rotations entirely at Geisinger. The GMC Cytopathology laboratory receives approximately 30,000 gynecologic, 7,000 non-gynecologic and 4,500 fine needle aspiration (FNA) cases each year with over 4,000 rapid on-site evaluations and a busy pathologist-performed FNA clinic. The lab is fully automated and uses Sure Path and Thin Prep technologies for the cervical screening specimens.
Fellows actively participate in previewing and signing out all types of cytopathology cases and perform rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) using telecytology. In addition, fellows perform FNAs in our pathologist-run FNA Biopsy Clinic and in our simulation center with hands-on experience with ultrasound-guided FNAs. Our fellows also utilize EPIC Beaker for our laboratory information system and become familiar with QA functions like cytology-histology correlations that enhance their learning of laboratory management. Opportunities for elective rotation in subspecialty areas of surgical pathology are available, making the program flexible and individually tailored. Participation in ongoing clinical studies and research is also encouraged, leading to abstracts and presentations at national meetings, in addition to publications. The program is optimized with structured didactic lectures and slide sessions relevant to daily practice and board examination, as well as continuing education through the American Society of Cytopathology (ASC) monthly webinars.
Fellows participate in our multidisciplinary clinical conferences and collaborate with the clinical teams on new initiatives. The goal of the program is to prepare individuals to be skilled, compassionate cytopathologists who will be an asset to any health system with a range of skills in cytomorphology, laboratory management, informatics, ancillary studies, telecytology, ROSE, FNA technique, and everything required to practice independently.

The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seeks candidate for Fellow in Breast Pathology. This appointment will be for one (1) year beginning 07/01/2026.
Fellowship Overview:
The goal of this program is to train academically oriented breast pathologists by providing comprehensive training in diagnostic breast pathology with special emphasis on a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and management of breast diseases as well as active participation in translational research projects. The breast pathology service receives a large, ever growing number of large resection cases, image-guided core biopsies, and consultation cases driven both by institutional needs before therapy and personal referrals. In addition, immunohistochemical biomarker studies are performed in numerous cases on a daily basis. The fellow will gain expertise in signing out all of these but with emphasis on consultations and referrals from other institutions.
To develop an insight into the role of the integrated multidisciplinary approach in treating breast cancer, the fellow also rotates in other disciplines such as breast imaging, breast surgery, medical oncology and radiation oncology, spending at least 1 week in each. He/she will have an opportunity to interact with clinicians and discuss challenging cases during the weekly Multidisciplinary Breast Case Conference. Participation in clinico-pathological or translational research project is promoted, and the fellow will benefit academically from Penn’s collaborative culture with a high level of partnership between Translational Centers of Excellence (TCE), the Rena Rowan Breast Center, and the Basser Center for BRCA.

The Oncologic/Hospital-based Cutaneous Pathology training will provide exposure and in depth training to oncological and hospital based cutaneous pathology specimens in the Department of Pathology at Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania along with a variety of research opportunities. After completion of this Oncological/Hospital-based Cutaneous Pathology program, candidates would be trained to practice in oncological cutaneous pathology. However, this program is not accredited for American Board Certification in Dermatopathology.
In addition to subspecialty signout, fellows will also have exposure to the busy frozen section service. Frozen section service and call will be incorporated throughout the year.
The surgical pathology laboratory accessions approximately 80,000 specimens/year.
Requirements
Successful completion of an accredited residency program and meets the requirements for certification in Anatomic Pathology or combined AP/CP by the American Board of Pathology, and eligibility for Pennsylvania medical training license.

University of Pittsburgh Cytopathology Fellowship
Opening for 2026-2027
The Department of Pathology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) has two openings for 2026-2027 in the Cytopathology Fellowship Training Program.
Description: The Department of Pathology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) offers a one-year, ACGME-accredited fellowship in diagnostic cytopathology. The Cytopathology fellowship at UPMC provides a broad-based experience in exfoliative and aspiration cytopathology within the large academic tertiary care setting of the UPMC Health System.
The fellowship includes rotations at the UPMC Presbyterian-Shadyside Cytopathology Centers of Excellence (COE), which handle approximately 12,000 cytopathology cases annually, including around 3,500 fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy specimens, many of which are accompanied by concurrent core needle biopsy specimens. The training rotation in the Department of Pathology at Magee-Womens Hospital (MWH) of the UPMC Health System provides exposure to a large number of gynecologic specimens (approximately 45,000 Pap tests) and 4,000 non-gynecological cytology cases.
Daily sign-out is conducted alongside the faculty members. The Cytopathology division maintains a close working relationship with other centers of excellence in the department, including Hematopathology, Molecular Pathology, and Computational Pathology & AI sections. Faculty and fellows perform Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) biopsies in the fine needle aspiration clinic and the ENT department. Additionally, the fellows work with faculty in performing a large number of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) procedures, either in person or utilizing telecytology technology.
The fellow will also participate in teaching cytopathology to cytologists/cytotechnologists, residents, and medical students. Ample resources are available for research projects, with strong faculty mentorship to support scholarly activities.
Requirements: Board certification/eligibility in either AP or AP/CP is required by the beginning of the fellowship training. Step 3 is a requirement as well as eligibility for the Pennsylvania medical training license.
Stipends: Commensurate with level of post-graduate training.
