ThinPrep technology, including the ThinPrep Imaging System, is utilized in the laboratory. The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) Cytopathology Laboratory also performs High Risk and 16/18 genotype HPV testing in-house, ensuring exposure to molecular techniques and clinical applications with which the cytopathologist of the future will need to be at least conversant. The fellow will also become familiar with the quality control and quality assurance activities of the laboratory as well as with technical and professional billing considerations. The fellow will perform superficial fine-needle aspiration biopsies in outpatient and inpatient settings and participate in the assessment of adequacy of image-guided fine-needle aspiration specimens.
Stipend: Commensurate with level of training. The UIC Graduate Medical Education Office posts specific information regarding stipends and benefits.
Application: E-mail (preferred) or send curriculum vitae, personal statement and completed College of American Pathologists (CAP) Standardized Pathology Fellowship Application to Dr. Odile David, Cytopathology Fellowship Program Director (odavid@uic.edu).
