| Program description: The
McLendon Clinical Laboratories of UNC Hospitals offer a broadly
based, one-year
training
program
in diagnostic
hematopathology.
The program is fully accredited by the ACGME. Hematopathology
is a diverse specialty, employing a wide variety of technologies, and
our Fellowship program is organized in such a way as to provide appropriate
training in all of these areas. Trainees gain experience in the management
and medical supervision of a high volume hematology laboratory (800–1,000 CBCs/day), the evaluation of peripheral blood smears, bone marrow and
lymph node biopsies and the various procedures conventionally grouped
together as special hematology. The Division of Hematopathology prepares
comprehensive diagnostic reports on all hematological samples, incorporating
morphological, histochemical, flow cytometric, cytogenetic and molecular
genetic data. The Hematopathology Fellowship Program works closely
with other laboratory areas to provide practical training in diagnostic
flow cytometry, cytogenetics and blood coagulation. Trainees participate
in a wide range of regularly scheduled conferences that stress clinico-pathologic
correlation. They also play a crucial role in teaching hematopathology
to medical students, as well as to pathology, hematology and oncology
residents. While the fellowship is geared primarily to hematological
diagnosis, research activities are strongly encouraged, with numerous
research opportunities available within the Division of Hematopathology
and the Pathology Department as a whole. |
