Research

The Cytopathology Fellowship provides fellows with opportunities to participate in scholarly activity and research throughout the twelve-month fellowship. Fellows are encouraged to develop and complete a scholarly project under the mentorship of cytopathology faculty, with opportunities for presentation at local, regional, and national meetings and for submission to peer-reviewed journals.

Research and scholarly activities may include clinical or translational research, educational projects, quality improvement initiatives, case reports, or other scholarly work relevant to cytopathology. Fellows have access to ancillary techniques and resources, including immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and molecular pathology, to support their scholarly projects when appropriate.

After the first six months of fellowship, dedicated time of one half-day per week is provided for the fellow to focus on research and other scholarly activities, including project development, data analysis, manuscript preparation, and presentation development.
