Hematopathology Fellowship

The Department of Pathology and Cell Biology offers a one-year ACGME-accredited fellowship training in Hematopathology.

We aim in our training program to:

  • Train fellows in the field of diagnostic hematopathology to become competent diagnostic hematopathologists in an independent clinical setting.
  • Provide fellows with knowledge in the pathogenesis of hematologic disorders.
  • Provide fellows with opportunities to participate in various scholarly activities including a variety of conferences, research opportunities and publication.
  • Train fellows to function as mentor/teacher to other trainees and health providers.

Due to the great variety of hematologic conditions seen at our institution, the pathology specimen types are diverse, from adult and pediatric patients, representing neoplastic and non-neoplastic cases from Columbia University Irving Medical Center, Affiliated Hospitals, and New York Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital.

Fellows learn to integrate routine morphology, immunophenotypic profiles, and state of the art molecular/cytogenetic analysis findings for appropriate diagnosis and classification of hematopoietic disorders. In addition to the main tissue-based diagnostic hematopathology training, fellows participate in other different activities of clinical pathology including state of the art flow cytometry, special Hematology and coagulation, cancer cytogenetics, and personalized genomic medicine.
