The Department of Pathology at the University of Utah School of Medicine offers an ACGME-accredited one-year fellowship program in cytopathology. Experience is provided at the University of Utah Hospital, Huntsman Cancer Hospital and ARUP Laboratories. Diagnostic material covers the spectrum of cytopathology practice and includes utilization of specialized, ancillary tests. The fellow participates in all aspects of the service and is given progressive responsibilities. Emphasis is placed on the performance and interpretation of FNA biopsies. Diagnostic and research facilities are available in molecular biology, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. Training time is dedicated to specimen preparation, laboratory management, auto-mated cytology, quality control and regulatory issues. The fellow participates in educational activities with involvement in interdisciplinary conferences.

This training program satisfies the requirements for the American Board of Pathology in Cytopathology.
