Residency Program in Pathology and Laboratory MedicineRotation in Hematopathology Goal:To help residents achieve competency through training in the principles and practice of hematopathology. Objective: To provide a system of graduated responsibilities through which residents first are closely supervised, then given increasing responsibility, and finally allowed to achieve proficiency in description, diagnosis, and reporting of specimens related to hematopathology. Overall duties of resident: The resident is responsible, in conjunction with the fellow, for the smooth operation of the hematopathology service. Specifically, the residents will obtain all useful information (clinical history, slides, ancillary studies) for all cases and present that information in an organized manner to the attendings. In addition, they will write or enter in CoPath provisional diadiagnoses for the cases prior to review by an attending. In summary, the residents are responsible for every activity of the hematopathology service except the final diagnosis. The resident’s responsibilities are graduated by level of training (see below). In the first rotation, the residents will receive close supervision and training by the fellow. During this training, the residents are strongly recommended to actively seek out and perform increasing amount of the service independent of the fellows. Eventually, the goal of the residents must be to obtain the knowledge and confidence to perform the service activities at the level of the fellow. Here you find Instructions for Submission of Cases to Hematopathology. Graduated responsibilities by level of training: Junior rotation (1st month)
Self-study material: World Health Organization Classification of Tumours: Pathology and Genetics, Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissue. IARC Press, 2001 (new edition expected August, 2008). The resident is responsible for reading the material from this textbook independently during the first month on service. Slides from study sets available in the division can be used in conjunction with reading materials. Other self-study material should also be utilized. Required Conferences
