Hematology and Medical Oncology Subspecialty Residency Program
Hematology and Medical Oncology Training
First-year trainees practice inpatient care and consult skills, and see patients in the outpatient clinic. During their second year, trainees rotate through subspecialty clinical assignments in disciplines such as radiation oncology, immunopathology, gynecologic oncology, hemostasis laboratory, nuclear medicine and blood banking. Third-year trainees refine their patient care skills and focus on the research and development of clinical studies.
Trainees are also educated in chemotherapy administration and safety precautions, as well as procedures such as bone marrow biopsy and aspiration, bone marrow harvest, and various laboratory procedures. Throughout their three years, trainees attend many educational lectures and multidisciplinary conferences and regularly give their own presentations. They attend national conferences such as the American Society of Clinical Oncology and American Society of Hematology meetings.
Our subspecialty residents continually have exposure to clinical research studies during their training. Trainees are expected to produce abstracts and a manuscript and/or protocol by the end of their third year.
