Core training responsibilities include morphologic interpretation of bone marrow biopsies, peripheral blood smears, body fluids, and lymph nodes/tissues, as well as flow cytometric analysis of these specimens. As a group, we review 550 lymph nodes, 2300 bone marrow biopsies, 2800 peripheral smears, and 3800 flow cytometry cases annually. There is a formal didactic lecture series and structured electives. Our alumni have successfully obtained employment in academic and community practice.
