Hematology and Oncology Fellowship Program

Clinical and basic research projects are part of the training program.  Successful completion of a research project is required for graduation from the fellowship program. Fellows will choose their research project, which may include clinical or basic research under the guidance of a faculty mentor. The fellow and mentor conceptualize the project during the first year of fellowship.  Fellows are encouraged to present research results at local research conferences and national meetings, and submit manuscripts for publication.
