Fellow Education

The Hematology-Oncology Fellowship program at UT Southwestern and the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center prepares physicians for careers in academic or clinical hematology-oncology by providing rigorous and comprehensive training in the full spectrum of adult hematologic and oncologic disorders. The Fellowship is a combined three-year Hematology/Oncology program.

Training takes place at Parkland Hospital, Dallas Veterans Affairs Medical Center, UT Southwestern University Hospital–St. Paul and UT Southwestern University Hospital–Zale Lipshy. Fellows are also responsible for ongoing care of outpatients at Parkland Hospital in five continuity clinics: benign and malignant hematology, breast, thoracic, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary oncology, which are led by faculty with expertise in each area.

Basic and clinical research is an integral part of the training program. Bringing the best of medical science to clinical practice is a major goal at UT Southwestern, and a broad range of research opportunities is available.
