Hematopathology Fellowship
Mission & Vision
The Hematopathology Fellowship is a one-year, ACGME- approved program designed to provide advanced, in-depth training in hematopathology. Competency in hematopathology will include the acquisition of an appropriate knowledge base required to practice this specialty. As the hematopathology fellow is central to our clinical academic work, they are critical components of our multidisciplinary approach to leukemia and lymphoma care for University of Miami/Jackson Health System.

Director’s Welcome
Our Hematopathology training program is both clinically and academically oriented and focused on development of diagnostic skills in the areas of bone marrow interpretation, flow cytometric immunophenotyping, immunohistochemistry, lymph node and extranodal lymphoma pathology, molecular genetic analysis of hematopoietic malignancies and peripheral blood interpretation.

The division provides a robust volume of excellent and diverse materials for the education of our clinical fellows. In addition to learning to interpret and appropriately report a wide variety of neoplastic and reactive hematologic conditions, our fellows are also directly responsible for management of associated laboratory testing (from a quality perspective), development and implementation of quality improvement processes for our clinical laboratories, and act as our direct liaisons with our clinical colleagues.
Fellows are responsible for presentation of clinical cases in a variety of weekly multidisciplinary clinicopathologic conferences where integration of clinical, pathologic and radiographic findings are discussed and management plans are determined.
Hematopathology faculty are engaged in teaching our fellows in all areas of hematopathology. Educational activities aimed at providing an avenue for reinforcing medical knowledge, in addition to daily sign-out sessions, include didactic sessions, interesting weekly case conferences, journal clubs and lymphoma and leukemia tumor boards.
Additionally, there are a wide variety of other academic activities offered by the pathology and hematology/oncology departments. Fellows are exposed to a variety of clinical/translational research opportunities in which they are expected to actively participate. Clinical and basic science research laboratories also exist for fellows interested in this type of research activity.
