Applications are accepted through ERAS beginning in July. All applicants must participate in the National Residency Matching Program. Our fellowship matches one to two new fellows per academic year.
To be considered for a UW Pediatric Hematology/Oncology fellowship position, you must be a:
- graduate of a U.S. or Canadian medical school accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME);
- graduate of U.S. college of osteopathic medicine accredited by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA); or

- Strong preference given to applicants who have graduated from or who are on track to graduate from a pediatric residency program accredited by the ACGME.
We encourage second- and third-year fellows to receive stipends through an NIH training grant; therefore, we require extra consideration when accepting applicants who are on a visa of any type. For more information regarding this policy, visit this NIH link and click on “Citizenship.”
