These structured rotations afford our fellows exposure to a wide variety of practice settings and case materials, with abundant opportunities for scholarly activity. In particular, four months dedicated to pediatric hematopathology and flow cytometry MRD analyses (lymphoid and myeloid) is a highly unique training experience. Training at all sites emphasizes development of problem solving skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n            \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n
