This is a one-year Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited fellowship program in diagnostic cytopathology offered by the Cytology Service of the Department of Pathology. During this period, the fellow is engaged in the examination of the cytopathologic material submitted to the Service under the supervision of the attending staff. The material comprises approximately 32,500 specimens per year (18,000 gynecologic and 13,000 nongynecologic).
The program includes participation in the Intraoperative Cytology Consultation Service and interaction with the School of Cytotechnology operated by the Cytology Service. Fellows are encouraged to participate in research projects with members of the department and/or in cooperation with clinicians. There is a cytology-based Fine Needle Aspiration Service.

- Eligibility
The fellowship is available to individuals who have completed training in pathology in an ACGME-accredited residency program. Board-eligibility in either AP or AP/CP is required by the beginning of the fellowship in Cytopathology.
All qualified applicants are welcome, but preference will be given to those committed to an academic career in pathology. A definite attempt will be made to identify individuals interested in combining two pathology fellowships offered at Memorial Sloan-Kettering under the assumption that this experience should provide them with a strong basis for a successful career in Academic Pathology.
Therefore, preference for the subspecialty fellowships and Molecular Pathology fellowships will be given to those who have completed the Oncologic Pathology fellowship at Memorial Sloan-Kettering or those who have had an analogous experience in a similar institution.
Early application is encouraged.
