The first year of fellowship emphasizes a strong foundation in clinical pediatric hematology and oncology (both outpatient and inpatient). You’ll develop expertise in diagnosing and treating disease, essential procedures, and palliative/end-of-life care of ill children.
The second and third years of fellowship focus on research, with limited clinical duties. As a fellow, you have a choice of two research tracks:
- The Physician-Scientist track, which provides additional research time at the bench; or
- The Clinician-Educator track, which provides additional clinical activities in the second and third years to best meet fellows’ career objectives.
