  • DUKE UNIVERSITY School of Medicine Pathologists' Assistant
    DUKE UNIVERSITY School of Medicine Pathologists’ Assistant Program Department of Pathology Academic Programs The Department of Pathology at Duke University offers a wide array of training programs to fit individual requirements and goals. The Residency Training program is an ACGME approved program and is available as an Anatomic Pathology/Clinical Pathology combined program, a shorter Anatomic Pathology only program, or an Anatomic Pathology/Neuropathology program. Subspecialty fellowships in Cytopathology, Dermatopathology, Hematopathology, Medical Microbiology, and Neuropathology are also ACGME approved. These programs provide the highest quality of graduate medical education by drawing on the depth and breadth of faculty expertise in the Department in all aspects of anatomic and clinical pathology and the availability of a wide variety of often complex clinical cases seen at Duke University Health System. For medical students interested in a career in Pathology pre-doctoral fellowships, internships and externships are available. Research Training in Experimental pathology can be obtained through Pre- and postdoctoral fellowships of one to five years. All pre-doctoral fellows are candidates for the Ph.D. degree in pathology. The Ph.D. is optional in postdoctoral programs, which provide didactic and research training in various aspects of modern experimental pathology. A two year NAACLS accredited Pathologists’ Assistant Program leads to a Master of Health Science degree, certifies graduates to sit for the ASCP Board of Certification examination, and leads to exciting career opportunities in a variety of anatomic pathology laboratory settings. Pathologists’ assistants are analogous to physician assistants, but with highly specialized training in autopsy and surgical pathology. This profession was pioneered in the Duke Department of Pathology 50 years ago, and is one of only twelve such programs in existence today.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – 2019 Program: GENERAL PATHOLOGY Specialty/Field Questions: 1. a) What are some strengths about your specialty? What draws and keeps people in your specialty? • The opportunity to understand the nature of disease in an in-depth way that isn’t achieved in any other specialty. You get to practice scientific diagnostic medicine over a broad range of subjects and you have a fair degree of control over your schedule. You are very much a part of the team taking care of the patient (it just isn’t as obvious!), and this is becoming even more apparent in the era of precision medicine. • Although there is limited direct contact with patients, there is a great deal of contact with a variety of clinicians outside the laboratory as well as with physician, PhD, and technical staff colleagues within the laboratory. We get satisfaction from the interactions we have with others, and knowing that we are helping a clinician take the next step in diagnosing or treating a patient. The stereotypical image of the hermit- like pathologist who stays in their office and never talks to anyone is rapidly disappearing in today’s pathology practice. b) What are some common complaints about your specialty? • There is limited direct clinical contact – you’ll never have an office full of patients who regard you as their doctor and most pathologists have a hospital-based practice which can limit professional autonomy. • You often have to sit/stand at a microscope and/or computer a lot, so sometimes you need to get creative about staying active during the day.

  • Lloyd M. Stoolman, M.D., Professor of Pathology in the Medical School, Retired from Active Faculty Status on May 31,2019
    THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN Regents Communication ACTION REQUEST Subject: Report of Faculty Retirement Action Requested: Adoption of Retirement Memoir Lloyd M. Stoolman, M.D., professor of pathology in the Medical School, retired from active faculty status on May 31,2019. Dr. Stoolman received his B.A. degree from Princeton University in 1972 and his M.D. degree from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) in 1977. All subsequent training appointments were at UCSF, including as a resident in anatomic pathology (1977-79), a resident and chief resident in laboratory medicine ( 1979-81 ), and as a NIHINHS post-doctoral fellow in developmental biology and immunology (1981-83). Dr. Stoolman joined the University of Michigan faculty as an assistant professor in 1983, and was promoted to associate professor in 1991, and professor in 2003. Dr. Stoolman's research laboratory studied cellular adhesion in immunity and inflammation. He and his colleagues at UCSF, and later at Michigan Medicine, were the first to demonstrate that a carbohydrate binding molecule (lectin) initiated the process known as lymphocyte recirculation, a key component of immune surveillance. This work challenged conventional wisdom in cellular immunology and opened a new area of research for many talented scientists in the arcane realm of lectinology. His laboratory also helped characterize lectins (now known as selectins) and counter-receptors that mediate the trafficking of all white blood cells from the bloodstream into tissues during normal and abnormal inflammation. In later years, his laboratory studied lymphocyte trafficking in adoptive immunotherapy with the goal of improving the therapeutic benefit from these novel cancer treatment approaches.

  • Hematological Pathology
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – 2019/2020 Hematological Pathology Specialty/Field Question 1. A) What are some strengths about your specialty? What draws and keeps people in your specialty? Hematological Pathology is a specialty within laboratory medicine that integrates clinical consultation and diagnosis with quality laboratory management and practice. We provide consultations to hematology, oncology, internal medicine, anesthesiology, critical care, surgery, and organ/tissue transplant specialists in the diagnosis and investigation of hematological disorders, coagulation disorders (bleeding and thrombosis), transfusion medicine and blood product utilization, histocompatibility/immunology, and molecular pathology. In other words, we don’t just look at glass slides under the microscope! We enjoy having a rich variety of clinical encounters with other clinicians and specialists. The resulting breadth and depth of hematopathology practice is the most attractive and exciting aspect of our daily work. B) What are some common complaints your specialty? There are not enough of us, so we all have a lot to do! The silver lining though is that there are positions available across the country for graduating residents. Alumni from the Edmonton program have worked/are working in Victoria, Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa, and Halifax! Some have even pursued additional fellowship training in the U.S. before beginning their staff positions. Instead of having traditional contact with patients through histories and physical exams in the hospital or outpatient clinics, we encounter them through bone marrow biopsies, under the microscope during blood film and bone marrow reporting, and discussions at coagulation and transfusion medicine rounds. Since we do not see or admit patients in the traditional sense, this also means we do not have to worry about things like lack of clinic or operating room time or space, or the lack of hospital beds to admit patients, etc.

  • Hematopathology Fellow Responsibilities Specific
    HEMATOPATHOLOGY FELLOW RESPONSIBILITIES The specific fellowship rotations are described below. Fellows also have time to pursue their research projects that may be with faculty in the Division of Hematopathology, elsewhere in the Department of Pathology or in the School of Medicine. After their first two months, fellows also participate in the on- call schedule (with faculty supervision and back-up). Fellows are also active participants in the varied teaching activities of the Division and are expected to be an important resource for residents and faculty in the Department of Pathology, as well as for clinical fellows and faculty. SPECIFIC ROTATIONS Hematopathology Fellowship Adult Bone Marrow Rotation Description of Rotation or Educational Experience Adult bone marrow sign-out at the UPMC involves assembling the relevant smear and histologic slides and ancillary data, an initial review including the performance of a peripheral blood and marrow differential by the fellow and bone marrow technologist, where appropriate, and then a final sign-out with a staff hematopathologist. A preliminary review of marrow smears is also performed upon their receipt as well as review of pertinent slides/reports from prior marrow evaluations. Diagnoses include an interpretation of all ancillary data such as any cytochemical stains or flow cytometric immunophenotypic studies. For new diagnoses of malignant disorders, the synoptic part of the reports needs to be completed. Interpretations of studies that have a longer turnaround time such as cytogenetic or molecular studies are expected to be included in addenda to the original report. Initially the fellow reviews cases and then signs them out with a staff hematopathologist while later, with permission of the staff, they are given increasing responsibilities (all slides are ultimately reviewed by a hematopathologist).
