Cytopathology Fellowship at Royal Oak

Corewell Health offers a one-year ACGME-accredited fellowship in Diagnostic Cytopathology beginning July 1 and ending June 30. The curriculum is organized into thirteen 4-week blocks, consisting of twelve 4-week rotations in cytopathology and one 4-week elective rotation. The program provides exposure to an outstanding range of cytologic specimens (96,752 GYN, 6,825 non-GYN, and 3,560 FNA cases), representing all major organ systems and specimen types commonly encountered in the practice of cytopathology.

The fellow participates in all aspects of cytopathology, including interpretation of gynecologic, non-gynecologic and fine-needle aspiration specimens. Sign-out responsibilities in cytopathology are graduated and based on the level of experience of the fellow.  The trainee participates in rapid on-site evaluations (ROSE) of endobronchial ultrasound-guided FNAs, endoscopic ultrasound-guided FNAs, and FNAs performed with image guidance in interventional radiology on weekly basis.

Additionally, the fellow is actively involved in teaching activities of pathology residents and rotating medical students from Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine. The fellow is involved in at least one research project during the fellowship year. Ancillary techniques such as immunocytochemistry, flow- cytometry, and molecular pathology are available for such purpose.
