Scholarly Activities and Research

Participation in a scholarly project is mandatory. Fellows are encouraged to identify a mentor/supervisor and a research project as early as possible.  The results of their research will be presented at the HP Educational Conference at the end of the year.  Presentation at a national meeting and/or publication in a peer-reviewed journal is the primary goal.

 

Scopes and types of scholarly activity

  • Primary research project: depend on the interests and prior experience of the fellow. Typical project types include morphologic reviews, immunophenotyping studies, molecular diagnostics or clinical cytogenetics-based studies, and/or any other pertinent clinical/translational research. As part of the research requirement, fellows are responsible for obtaining institutional internal review board (IRB) approval for new projects if necessary.
  • Case reports
  • Review articles (including book chapters)
  • Laboratory management projects leading to publication or presentation at a national meeting
