Hematology/Oncology Fellowship

Curriculum

Our Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program allows each fellow to develop a solid skill set enabling them to successfully pursue a productive and rewarding career as an academic physician. Trainees are given a substantial level of responsibility in the outpatient and inpatient setting at the start of the program. Teaching and research skills are mastered throughout the Fellowship. Fellows teach medical students, pediatric house officers and participate in a variety of multidisciplinary educational conferences. Research seminars in medical writing, grant preparation, clinical research, and laboratory research skills are offered.

The program spans 3 years.  Additional years may be spent in research for career development.

Alternative career development tracks are available:

• Basic Science/Clinical Science Concentration
  Hematology/Oncology Fellows are encouraged to have significant involvement in both clinical research and laboratory-based research. The scope and involvement in each type of research, however, will depend on the research and career interests of the Fellow. Those choosing to emphasize basic science research will typically have a clinical research experience of limited nature and visa versa. Optimally, the clinical and basic science projects will be complementary, encouraging the Fellow to develop a broad understanding of a specific area of research. Fellows have the opportunity to train with faculty within Pediatric Hematology/Oncology and Adult Hematology within the Wilmot Cancer Center.
• Combined Program: Master of Public Health—Clinical Investigation Track
  The Department of Community and Preventive Medicine (CPM) offers a Masters program that focuses on health services research training for clinicians. Those completing this program receive the degree, Master of Public Health (Clinical Investigation). The primary objective is to train individuals to combine clinical knowledge and health services research. The academic program awards a recognized credential expertise in clinical epidemiology, clinical decision-making, and the evaluation of health care services.
  
  Core courses in epidemiology, bio statistics, health institutions, environmental and occupational health, and social and behavioral health are required. The degree has been successfully completed in conjunction with the Hematology Oncology Fellowship Program, including the mentored research experience described above. The mentored research project begins concurrently with coursework, and in most cases will extend beyond completion of courses culminating in publications in peer-reviewed journals.
