In addition to cytopathology responsibilities, the fellow will rotate through flow cytometry and image analysis units which are parts of the cytopathology, immunology/hematology and optical biology laboratories at UC Davis Medical Center. The Fellow will be responsible for weekly cytology conferences and will participate in Gynecological and Non-Gynecological Tumor Boards.
