Fellowship Curriculum
Fellows gain experience in inpatient service, which includes recognizing and treating oncologic and hematologic emergencies, under the guidance of faculty in collaboration with hospitalists and nurse practitioners. Outpatient rotations involve working closely with faculty tumor-specific and classical hematology specialists in each rotation. Fellows also have a continuity clinic where they will see a broad array of patients with common oncologic diseases, which will provide them with future specialized training. The program is designed to incorporate sufficient elective time for Fellows to seek further specialist training in a specific tumor types and/or more-rare tumors or hematologic disorders. Fellows also have the option during their elective time to pursue more experience in clinical or translational research, under the mentorship of our faculty. Our objective for each Fellow is that they will complete our program ready to practice independently.
