The one-year non-ACGME certified fellowship provides a competitive, all-around educational experience designed to develop outstanding diagnostic and leadership skills in thoracic and transplant-related pathology through advanced training. The fellow will work in the busy thoracic pathology subspecialty of our surgical pathology division at the UW-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH). The service is staffed by 4 subspecialty pathologists. It provides pathologic support services to a dynamic cardiothoracic surgical program with an active heart and lung transplant program. Beyond the surgical specialties, this service frequently interacts with general, interventional, and transplant pulmonologists and cardiologists, as well as thoracic radiologists, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists. We have a volume of approximately 4,500 thoracic specimens per year. The surgical pathology division has a modern workspace with state-of-the-art facilities, including telepathology and whole slide imaging software. The department also benefits from a strong in-house molecular diagnostics laboratory.
The fellowship is designed to provide advanced training in thoracic and transplant-related pathology. It is suited for both academically orientated pathologists as well as those who are interested in pursuing community practice with a subspecialty focus. After training, the candidate will be proficient in the work-up and diagnosis of routine and complex cases including frozen sections, immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, and molecular diagnostics related to neoplastic and non-neoplastic thoracic pathology.
The fellow will perform the duties of a thoracic diagnostic surgical pathologist in the department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine with additional duties in other areas of transplant pathology depending on the fellow's interest. The candidate will be required to fulfill daily responsibilities, participate in multidisciplinary conferences, and complete at least one research, educational, or quality improvement project during the fellowship. Based on the evaluation of the candidate's proficiency and performance, there may be opportunities for being involved in laboratory management projects, independent sign out and resident teaching.
