Program Description<\/h2>\n

The McLendon Clinical Laboratories of UNC Hospitals offer a broadly based, one-year training program in diagnostic hematopathology. The program is fully accredited by the ACGME. Hematopathology is a diverse specialty, employing a wide variety of technologies, and our Fellowship program is organized in such a way as to provide appropriate training in all of these areas. Trainees gain experience in the management and medical supervision of a high volume hematology laboratory (800\u20131,000 CBCs\/day), the evaluation of peripheral blood smears, bone marrow and lymph node biopsies and the various procedures conventionally grouped together as special hematology. The Division of Hematopathology prepares comprehensive diagnostic reports on all hematological samples, incorporating morphological, histochemical, flow cytometric, cytogenetic and molecular genetic data. The Hematopathology Fellowship Program works closely with other laboratory areas to provide practical training in diagnostic flow cytometry, cytogenetics and blood coagulation. Trainees participate in a wide range of regularly scheduled conferences that stress clinico-pathologic correlation. They also play a crucial role in teaching hematopathology to medical students, as well as to pathology, hematology and oncology residents. While the fellowship is geared primarily to hematological diagnosis, research activities are strongly encouraged, with numerous research opportunities available within the Division of Hematopathology and the Pathology Department as a whole.<\/p>\n
