GYNECOLOGIC PATHOLOGY FELLOWSHIP
2024-2025 Academic Year


The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is currently accepting applications for a one-year, non-ACGME accredited fellowship in Gynecologic Pathology, for the 2024-2025 academic year.

The fellowship is intended to foster the development of strong diagnostic skills and up-to-date training in clinically relevant pathologic aspects for practice in both the academic and community setting. The fellow will spend the majority of their time on the gynecological pathology service. Placental and perinatal pathology, with opportunities for fetal examinations and newborn surgical pathology, are included. The importance of clinic-pathological interaction is stressed, with the fellow participating in tumor board and multi-disciplinary conferences. The fellow participates in daily sign-out and service work-related activities, including overseeing residents on the gynecologic pathology services.

All fellows also spend one rotation as a frozen section/gross room supervisor at The Ronald Regan UCLA Medical Center and complete a one-month general surgical pathology rotation at Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center.

Fellows will have the opportunity to independently sign-out clinical cases and perform intraoperative/frozen section consultations. There will be a proctoring process in place to determine the fellow’s readiness to have these clinical privileges.

When on JA-WH or JA-GYN rotations, the fellow will assist and supervise residents with fetopsies and evaluation of D&E specimens from second trimester terminations for congenital anomalies. While accommodating other responsibilities, we will try to prioritize fellow involvement in the gross dissection and

organ review, microscopic examination, and oversight and report editing of the residents’ reports. The fellows will also be notified of newborn surgical specimens on the GI, Heart-Lung, and GU services, so that they may participate at the time of sign-out or with subsequent review of these cases.

Applications are invited for Anatomic Pathology Instructor positions in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The successful candidates will join a subspecialized anatomic pathology division supporting the clinical and academic missions of an internationally recognized department. One year of prior fellowship training in surgical pathology or a surgical pathology subspecialty is preferred (senior residents with outstanding record of excellent diagnostic skills will also be considered). Eligibility for California licensure and for appointment to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Staff is required.

Positions are one year in duration (consideration may be given to a second year), with independent sign-out as a full time faculty after initial brief period of supervision and proctoring, coupled with active role in resident education on a daily basis, responsibilities in an active intraoperative consultation service (Frozen Sections) and tumor board coverage, with availability of protected time on a weekly basis for preparation for educational responsibilities/ other duties as applicable. Instructors will rotate through core subspecialties, with room for emphasis on subspecialties of interest during the second half of the year. In addition, up to 4 weeks of elective service time are granted, which may be used for an additional subspecialty rotation in anatomic pathology of personal interest.

The instructor will have the unique opportunity to work with subspecialized pathologists with substantial expertise in their fields, providing both exceptional educational as well as practical experience, emerging with the confidence of independent and competent practicing surgical pathologists in either a community or academic setting, or enter and excel into further subspecialty fellowship training, within or outside our department.

Instructors are employed by Beverly Pathology, an independently contracted pathology group under the Cedars-Sinai Medical Foundation.
