This accredited fellowship program provides one year of advanced training in diagnostic cytopathology. Fellows in this program actively participate in all aspects of cytopathology, including the sign-out of routine gynecologic and non-gynecologic specimens and the procurement and analysis of fine needle aspiration biopsies. The program emphasizes a comprehensive cytologic approach to both superficial and deep-seated FNA diagnosis. There is a wide spectrum of material (approximately 70,000 cases) originating from the six hospitals on the IU School of Medicine—Indianapolis campus. This includes more than 4,100 fine-needle aspiration cases per year, and approximately one-third of these are collected by the cytopathology staff and fellows.
