Hematopathology Fellowship

所有的临床研究员在他们的研究期间都会参与研究项目。研究员通过定期参加期刊俱乐部和数据俱乐部来磨练他们的演讲技巧。在这些会议上，研究员们讨论最近发表的论文，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，他们中的大多数人仍然留在学术领域。除了在学员服务期间的日常交流外，我们每年至少举行两次更正式的会议，讨论职业目标和工作机会。更频繁的会议是讨论他们当前的研究项目，至少每月一次。我们与临床分支定期召开会议，治疗淋巴瘤和其他免疫疾病患者。指导学员和实验室成员一直是我们小组的主要重点，我们的学员离开NIH后取得的成功证明了我们对这些目标的奉献精神。自1980年我被任命为血液病科主任以来，我们已经培训了80多名血液病临床研究员和20名访问研究员，希望在回国前提高他们的技能。Pittaluga博士自2005年起担任项目总监。虽然该奖学金是由美国国家癌症研究所（NCI）血液病理学科（LP）赞助的，但研究员会花相当一部分时间在不同的单位进行轮转，以扩大他们的教育经验。ACGME认证项目的“认证年”包括在LP血液病理学科（4个月）、临床中心（DLM， CC）检验医学系血液服务部（4个月）、流式细胞术部门（1个月）、分子诊断部门（1个月）、约翰霍普金斯医院血液病理学部门（1个月）的轮转，以及在华盛顿特区国家儿童医疗中心和乔治华盛顿大学医院的可选轮转。在项目的第二年，研究员有8个月的受保护的研究时间，并通过在LP血液病科和lc血液病服务中心额外的4个月的诊断服务来提高他们的诊断技能。每个研究员都被资助参加为期一周的肿瘤血液病教程，这一经历进一步完善了教育课程。100%的研究员在第一次尝试中通过了美国病理委员会提供的血液学考试。自2015年以来，血液病科的学员在同行评审的文献中撰写了60多篇文章。出席与本专业相关的科学会议之一的研究员，通常是美国和加拿大病理学会（USCAP）。

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 regular 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 80 Clinical Fellows in Hematopathology and 20 Visiting Fellows seeking to improve their skills prior to return in their home country. 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 8 months of protected research time, and enhance their diagnostic skills through an additional fou 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 60 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).
