Hematopathology Fellowship

所有临床研究员在担任研究员期间都参与了研究项目。研究员通过参加每月举行的期刊俱乐部和数据俱乐部来磨练他们的演讲技能。在这些会议上，研究员讨论最近发表的文献中的论文，并介绍他们正在进行的项目的结果。这些会议帮助他们过渡到未来的职业道路，其中大部分留在了学术界。除了在研究员服务期间的日常互动外，我们每年至少有两次更正式的会议，讨论职业目标和工作机会。更频繁地举行会议，讨论他们目前的研究项目，至少每月一次。我们定期与治疗淋巴瘤和其他免疫疾病的患者的临床分支机构举行会议。对学员和实验室成员的指导一直是我们团队的主要重点，我们的学员自离开NIH以来取得的成功证明了我们对这些目标的奉献。自1980年我被任命为血液病理科科长以来，我们已经培训了60多名血液病理学临床研究员。皮塔卢加博士是项目主任，自2005年以来一直担任该职位。虽然该奖学金是由NCI LP血液病理科赞助的，但研究员们花了相当一部分时间在不同的单位轮换，以扩大他们的教育经验。ACGME认证计划的“认证年”包括血液病理科(LP)(4个月)、临床中心(DLm，CC)血液科(4个月)、流式细胞术单元(1个月)、分子诊断科(1个月)、约翰霍普金斯医院血液病理科(1个月)，以及儿童国家医学中心、华盛顿特区和乔治华盛顿大学医院的选择性轮换。在该计划的第二年，研究员有7个月的保护性研究时间，并通过在LP血液病理科和CC DLM血液科额外5个月的诊断服务来提高他们的诊断技能。每个研究员都被赞助参加为期一周的肿瘤血液病理学教程，这一经历进一步完善了教育课程。自2015年以来，我们100%的研究员首次通过了美国病理委员会提供的血液学考试。血液病理科的实习生在同行评议的文献中撰写了50多篇文章。研究员出席与我们的专业相关的科学会议之一，最常见的是美国和加拿大病理学会(USCAP)。今年，该项目的四名研究员中有三名在USCAP会议上提交了论文，其中两篇被选为口头报告，一篇被选为海报。

All the Clinical Fellows become involved in research projects while their fellowship. Fellows hone their presentation skills through their participation in Journal clubs and Data clubs held on a monthly basis. At these meetings fellows discuss recent papers from the published literature, and present results of their ongoing projects. These conferences help them transition to their future career path, with most of them remaining in the academic sector. In addition to our daily interactions while fellows are on service, we have more formal meetings at least twice each year, to discuss career goals and job opportunities. More frequent meetings are held to discuss their current research projects, at least monthly. We hold regular conferences with clinical branches treating patients with lymphoma, and other immune disorders. Mentoring of trainees and Lab members has been a major focus of our group, and the success that our trainees have had since leaving the NIH is evidence of our dedication to these goals. Since my appointment as Head of the Hematopathology Section in 1980, we have trained more than 60 Clinical Fellows in Hematopathology. Dr. Pittaluga is Program Director, a position held since 2005. While the fellowship is sponsored by the Hematopathology Section, LP, NCI, fellows spend a considerable portion of their time in rotations in different units to broaden their educational experience. The "credentialing year" of the ACGME accredited program includes rotations in the Hematopathology Section, LP, (4 months), the Hematology Service of the Department of Laboratory Medicine, Clinical Center (DLM, CC) (4 months), Flow Cytometry Unit (1 month), Molecular Diagnostics Unit (1 month), Hematopathology Division of the Johns Hopkins Hospital (1 month), with optional rotations at the Children's National Medical Center, Washington DC, and George Washington University Hospital. In the second year of the program, fellows have 7 months of protected research time, and enhance their diagnostic skills through an additional five months of diagnostic service in the Hematopathology Section, LP, and the Hematology Service, DLM, CC. Each of the fellows is sponsored to attend the week-long Tutorial in Neoplastic Hematopathology, an experience that further rounds out the educational curriculum. 100% of our fellows have passed on the first attempt the examination in Hematology offered by the American Board of Pathology Since 2015 trainees in the Hematopathology Section have authored more than 50 articles in the peer-reviewed literature. Fellows present at one of the scientific meetings related to our specialty, most often the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP). This year three of the four fellows in the program presented papers at the USCAP meeting, two of which were selected for oral presentations, and one for poster.
