 During this post-residency fellowship program, of one or preferably two years duration, the fellow will gain advanced experience in diagnosis, teaching, and research in clinical cytopathology. Diagnostic material consists of a wide variety of gynecologic and nongynecologic specimens. Performance of superficial fine needle aspirations and on-site assessment of guided deep aspirates provides the trainee with extensive expertise in this popular technique. Fellows are given increasing responsibility in cytopathology sign-out as they acquire experience, and participate as instructors in an internationally acclaimed continuing medical education program. Research opportunities in immunocytochemistry, morphometry and applied molecular pathology are available.The second year provides advanced experience in diagnostic cytopathology and research and is tailored according to the trainee's interests and career paths. Goals of the program include preparation for a career in academic cytopathology and preparation for the American Board of Pathology Added Qualification in Cytopathology exam, although fellows will find themselves superbly trained for a community practice in Cytopathology.

PLEASE HELP US TO CELEBRATE THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF OUR MENTOR, COLLEAGUE, AND FRIEND THROUGH SUPPORTING THE FELLOWSHIP IN HIS HONOR. Dr. Erozan was born in Ankara, Turkey in 1930 during his father's tenure as a member of Parliament. His father was a well-known poet, linguist, and teacher. After his father died from lung cancer in 1935 (at the age of 52), Yener's mother took Yener and his younger brother home to Istanbul. Yener says he knew from early childhood that he wanted to be a doctor; he never considered another profession. After graduating from the University of Istanbul School of Medicine in 1954, Dr. Erozan participated in consecutive residency programs at Haydarpasa Numune Hospital in Istanbul with Professor Muammer Yenerman (1956-1959) and a second one at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda with Colonel James E. Ash (1959-1962). Dr. Erozan became a Fellow in Cytopathology under the directorship of John K. Frost, M.D. when he came to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in July 1962. Subsequently in July 1964, Dr Erozan accepted the position of Instructor in Pathology. He returned to Turkey the following year as Instructor in Pathology at Hacettepe University School of Medicine where he stayed until 1968. In December 1968, Dr. Erozan resumed his remarkable career at Hopkins when he accepted the position of Assistant Professor in Pathology. In July 1975, he was promoted to Associate Professor, and in January 1989, he assumed the Directorship of the John K. Frost Cytopathology Laboratory. In May 1995, he was promoted to Professor of Pathology. Dr. Erozan's love of teaching is embodied in his prolific publications. During a distinguished career, which has spanned more than 40 years, Dr. Erozan has generated over 90 peer-reviewed articles, 13 non-peer reviewed articles, 14 book chapters, 2 books and a variety of multi-media teaching materials. In addition, he continues to be involved in numerous classrooms, national and international CME instructional activities. The continued success of the world-renown Postgraduate Institute for Pathologists in Clinical Cytopathology established by Dr. John K. Frost is a testament to his leadership. Today he continues to be involved in the Division's abbreviated "Institute" as Director Emeritus. In addition to his significant contributions as an educator, Yener Erozan has embraced clinical and research technologies that have significantly impacted the practice of Cytopathology. Dr. Erozan has been a leader in the area of fine needle aspiration, one of the major new areas in Cytopathology in the last twenty-five years. His research interest in pulmonary pathology has involved the application of molecular probes to cytologic specimens. His papers have been published in significant journals of his specialty and he has been an Associate Editor for Acta Cytologica since 1992. Dr. Erozan has been an active member of the American Society of Cytopathology since 1977, the premier organization for his discipline. Over the years, he has served the Society in multiple capacities including President. His on-going commitment to the Society has been demonstrated through his membership or chairmanship of the many society's committees. He received the Society's highest honor in 1997, the Papanicolaou Award. So much of his career has been dedicated to teaching it seems only fitting that we create this fellowship to honor him. Endowing a training program in Cytopathology at Johns Hopkins will perpetuate Yener Erozan's legacy. Endowment generated income will make an enduring difference in the lives of our Cytopathology fellows and help to secure the future of our training programs. The Yener S. Erozan Fellowship in Cytopathology emphasizes the diagnostic, teaching and clinical research activities that are his life. Please join us as we celebrate the achievements of our mentor, colleague, and friend by supporting the fellowship in his honor. "Ever
patient, ever perceptive, both at the microscope
and in human relationships. Any student or peer
who has had the privilege of working with this
fine pathologist would surely agree." "Selflessly,
he always takes time to answer your questions and
guide you to the answers. He is never too busy.
Dr. Erozan's absolute love and enthusiasm for his
craft is what initially attracted me to
Cytopathology. The moments I most treasure
spending with him have been at the multi-headed
microscope - there you are in his fascinating
world; a world of jumbled up cells and tissue
fragments. A world that at first seems so
puzzling and strange - crinkled nuclei, wispy
cytoplasm, chromocenters, gland-like formations,
shish kabobs, clumped chromatin..... And, when
you start to put the pieces of that puzzle
together for yourself and begin making diagnoses,
his face beams with the joy and pride of a father
whose child has just learned to ride a bicycle
without the training wheels. "
A great friend, a good listener with an amazingly
patient personality. He is always there to help,
to advise, to guide, and to rescue. He is
passionate about Cytopathology, having devoted
his entire life, in furthering the subject at all
levels from the medical students to the certified
experts in this field. He has been the biggest
attraction for me in the field of Cytopathology
since my early years in Pathology." " Dr.
Erozan has mastered the intangible balance
between a careful conservative approach and the
confidence to render and defend the most
difficult definitive diagnosis. Amazingly, with
all of this wisdom and experience at his command,
he will time after time put down what he is doing
to look at a case, listen to a story, and offer
advice. When he agrees with my opinion, I am
reassured and strengthened, taking another small
step toward that goal of skilled diagnostician
that we all strive for." Yener S.
