 Subspecialty Fellowships 
 

The goal of the Hematology/Oncology fellowship program is to provide quality subspecialty training to fellows in the combined disciplines of hematology and oncology so that trainees will be able to function competently as clinical consultants, provide high-quality direct patient care (both in-patient and out-patient), and perform related procedures competently. Training builds upon and extends six general, core competencies developed in residency training: patient care, medical knowledge, practice-based learning and improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, and systems-based practice. The program seeks to prepare subspecialists for future careers in either clinical practice or in academic/research settings. The program seeks to achieve these goals through appropriate clinical experience under the supervision of qualified and dedicated faculty, through didactic exercises, and through exposure to and/or direct experience in clinical/basic science investigation.
