Soft tissue sarcomas (rhabdomyosarcoma and non-rhabdo-myosarcoma) g. CNS tumors (astrocytoma, medulloblastoma, ependymoma) h. Germ cell tumors SUPERVISION AND EVALUATION: All cases, including paperwork and all glass slides, are reviewed by a pathologist licensed to practice in Texas, and is verified by that pathologist. At no time is a final report issued without that verification. The rotation runs concurrent with surgical pathology and will be evaluated with it. If a pediatric autopsy is done, the rules for autopsy evaluation will follow. RESIDENT DOCUMENTATION of activities for evaluation and ABP: Residents must keep track of the numbers and organ system types of cases as they do them, including placentas and pediatric surgical specimens and autopsies. These numbers will be needed for application to the American Board of Pathology. This sheet should be presented at the time of evaluation, and its contents entered into the Innovations system.
