I will be the third pathologist at a community hospital. I will be spitting my time between hemepath and surgpath as we will do around 300 marrows a year, plus flow.
My impression in looking for a job is that the demand for hemepath vs. cytopath depends on which area of the country you are in. The kicker is that I think there is no good way to predict. You could call groups in the areas you'd like to live and ask them which subspecialty they'd prefer.
When I picked a fellowship, I chose hemepath because I enjoy it and I think that it might insulate me from having to do many pap smears. (I am haunted by the image of thousands of pap smears sitting in a file for 20 years waiting for one of those women to get cervical cancer.)

Dont even make me bust out the BFGs: Cyto vs. Heme? Pleassseeee. Heme all the way. Unless of course you want to be the pap smear bitch making 5 dollahs a slide and have the chance of jail time looming over your head because your crack head cytotech smoked a bowl before coming to work to read out and missed 5 HGSILs! Yeeehhaaa
My list:
1.) Derm Derm Derm
2.) Heme
3.) GI
4.) GU
That is all.
Youre so money and you dont even know it.
But if you wanna be a big money baller think outside the box: NHS Fellowship in England, Onc Path at Sloan Kettering, Combined Surgpath and Cyto at UCSD if you have to do cyto would be 3 interesting ideas. Be different FFS.

You want one (albeit astronomically brilliant) man's opinion? Sloan will open more doors, period. Texas is one of those places that people love or hate. Very little in between. If you want to stay the rest of your life in North TX then by all means. SKMCC is the bomb anywhere. Heck Im thinking of even doing it just to create the ultimate CV since Im single atm and only 30.

As part of our hazing, I was forced to submerge in a vat of decal for an hour.
I call your bluff - evidently you can still type!

Unbidden, the image of Stephen Hawking came to mind.
Lingerie models and transcriptionists beat voice-recognition software any day, wouldn't you say?
