Education in Hematology and Oncology
The Division of Hematology and Oncology is strongly committed to educating, training and mentoring the next generation of physicians, advanced practitioners, researchers and future leaders in the field. Faculty are involved in education at multiple levels and frequently receive awards for their dedication to teaching.
Educators in the division provide training for the next generation of specialists through the Hematology/Oncology Fellowship, a three-year, ACGME-accredited program that admits four fellows per year. A separate Hematology Track, a two-year, ACGME-accredited program that admits one fellow per year, is also available.
The Division of Hematology and Oncology hosts weekly CME accredited Grand Rounds that are attended by practitioners from many fields including radiation oncology, surgery, palliative care, nursing and pharmacy. The Grand Rounds bring the most up-to-date research and treatments in the field to the forefront, either with local or invited speakers, providing a place to interact with colleagues and discuss new ideas. The division also hosts an annual Cancer Research Symposium where fellows, residents, students and faculty showcase their research, monthly interdisciplinary conferences, monthly Schwartz Center rounds, and several Mini-Symposiums, Special Seminar Series and endowed annual lectures. In addition, each disease team hosts weekly tumor boards that significantly contribute to improved and coordinated patient care and also serve the division’s teaching and clinical research missions through identifying patient candidates for clinical trials.
Medical education consists of inpatient and outpatient clerkships and acting internships (hematology/oncology inpatient service, hematology consults, oncology consults and outpatient clinic rotations).
