The experience includes daily sign-out of gynecologic and nongynecologic specimens as well as training in the performance and interpretation of fine needle aspiration biopsies. Participation in conferences and teaching of pathology residents and cytotechnology students is required. Involvement in clinical research is also encouraged. Cytology specimens from the University Hospital and the South Texas Veterans Health Care System, Audie L. Murphy Division, approximate total 20,000 annually, of which 5,000 are non gynecologic specimens. The latter group includes approximately 1,000 fine needle aspiration biopsies.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lsom.uthscsa.edu\/pathology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2018\/12\/CytoFelGoalsobj.pdf\">Cytopathology Goals and Objectives<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Requirements:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Applicants must have completed a four-year AP\/CP residency or a straight anatomic pathology residency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Number of positions: <\/strong>Two per academic year<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recruitment Status:<\/strong> Please contact Program Coordinator for current open positions<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stipends: <\/strong>Commensurate with level of training.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Facilities:<\/strong> University Hospital &amp; Mays Cancer Center<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/lsom.uthscsa.edu\/pathology\/education\/program-benefits\/\">View current benefits<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uthscsa.edu\/university\/about-san-antonio\"><strong>Information on Living in San Antonio<\/strong><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;] \n        <a class=\"panel no-equilizer panel-mobile text-center colorized\" href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/design\/DAGqELqStyg\/Tf04w3rLxOa8obaRSRfSiQ\/view?utm_content=DAGqELqStyg&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h14a8c261e9\" title=\"\" target=\"\">\n            <span class=\"circle close2x mid-icon\"><span><i class=\"icon-uth-shield\"><\/i><\/span><\/span><br>\n            <h3 >Meet Our Fellowship Program Directors & Faculty<\/h3>\n            <p><\/p>\n        <\/a>[vc_column_text]<ul class=\"line-delimited subnav\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/lsom.uthscsa.edu\/pathology?page_id=337\">Department of Pathology Fellowships (Home)<\/a><\/li><li class=\"page_item page-item-424\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lsom.uthscsa.edu\/pathology\/education\/fellowship\/forensic-pathology-fellowship\/\">Forensic Pathology Fellowship<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-410\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lsom.uthscsa.edu\/pathology\/education\/fellowship\/cytopathology-fellowship\/\">Cytopathology Fellowship<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-413\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lsom.uthscsa.edu\/pathology\/education\/fellowship\/hematopathology-fellowship\/\">Hematopathology Fellowship<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-418\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lsom.uthscsa.edu\/pathology\/education\/fellowship\/surgical-pathology-fellowship\/\">Surgical Pathology Fellowship<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-416\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lsom.uthscsa.edu\/pathology\/education\/fellowship\/transfusion-medicine-fellowship\/\">Transfusion Medicine Fellowship<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"page_item page-item-2213\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lsom.uthscsa.edu\/pathology\/education\/fellowship\/clinical-informatics\/\">Clinical Informatics Fellowship<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Current Cytopathology Fellows<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4674&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<strong>Suhalika Sahni, MD<\/strong><br \/>\nsahnis@uthscsa.edu<br \/>\n<strong>Medical School:<\/strong> Dayanand Medical College and Hospital, India<br \/>\n<strong>Hometown:<\/strong> Chandigarh, India<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Pathology?<\/strong>&nbsp;Since medical school pathology really fascinated me.
