Description

The Hematopathology Fellowship at the University of Washington is an ACGME-accredited one-year program that provides training in the clinical and laboratory diagnosis of hematologic malignancies, hemoglobinopathies and hemolytic syndromes, hemostasis and thrombosis, and general hematology.  Training is provided in all the major diagnostic techniques, including  flow cytometry and clinical molecular diagnosis. The fellowship consists of a structured intensive core rotation through the clinical  areas listed above as well as two months of elective time. A major goal of the fellowship is mastery of a hematopathology area leading to publication in quality journals. The fellowship should prepare the trainee for successful  completion of the hematology examination given by the American Board of Pathology. Trainees who are interested in pursuing a research career are encouraged to spend at least one additional year training and developing a research program. 2 positions/year.
