Description: This is a one-year cytopathology training program at Wexner Medical Center at The Ohio State University, which includes the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Research Institute.  The cytology laboratory accessions approximately 36,000 cases annually.  This includes 8,000 exfoliative non-gynecologic, and about 2,400 FNA specimens.  The cytopathology fellow will experience preliminary sign-out of non-gynecologic and gynecologic specimens, gynecologic pap smear/cervical biopsy correlations, and performing and interpreting FNA under supervision of a staff cytopathologist.  Twelve months are spent in clinical service as it relates to cytopathology with access to surgical pathology, frozen sections, molecular pathology, HPV DNA analysis, image analysis, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry and research associated with cytopathology.  The fellow will participate in the cytopathology teaching of cytotechnologists, medical students and residents.  He/she may also participate in the regular resident microscopic seminars, hospital tumor boards, cytopathology teleconferences, CAP proficiency tests and formal cytopathology lectures.  The fellow may participate in inspections as they relate to certification in cytology and quality assurance.  Strengths of the program include the diversity of the cytopathology faculty as well as their strengths in gynecologic pathology, gynecologic and non-gynecologic cytology, flow cytometry DNA analysis and image analysis, and fine needle aspiration cytology.
