Advanced Specialty Training Program in GYN Pathology(ASTP)/Advanced Fellowship

The Department of Pathology at Johns Hopkins is recruiting for an Advanced Specialty Training Program (ASTP) with a focus on Gynecologic Pathology. This fellowship offers trainees the opportunity to independently sign out gynecologic surgical pathology cases within a highly supported academic environment. Applications are now being accepted, with offers extended on a rolling basis until the position is filled.

The fellowship is flexible and may be tailored to the fellow's individual career interests, allowing for increased sign-out experience in gynecologic pathology and complementary exposure in other subspecialty areas as desired.

Program Description

This is a one-year fellowship combining advanced clinical experience in Gynecologic Surgical Pathology. Responsibilities include independent sign-out of gynecologic pathology cases (both in-house and consult cases), intraoperative frozen section evaluation, resident and trainee instruction, oversight of the grossing area, and participation in multidisciplinary clinical conferences (including tumor boards).

Fellows function at a junior attending level with faculty available for consultation at all times, ensuring robust diagnostic support. Fellows have access to an extensive array of ancillary studies, including immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and molecular diagnostic assays.

The fellowship includes four months of unstructured elective time, which may be used for subspecialty consultation service sign-outs, focused gynecologic pathology research, quality improvement initiatives, professional development, job interviews, and vacation.

Three years of AP training or four years of AP/CP training are required. Applicants must have completed their AP training and be AP board eligible/certified by the start date. A Maryland medical license is required before the start date. Applicants must be a U.S. permanent resident or a U.S. citizen.

Interested individuals should submit an application, a CV, a brief statement of interest in gynelogic pathology, their long-term career plans, and four original letters of recommendation: one from your current department chairperson or superior, and three others from people of your choosing.
