Introduction

Typically, four new fellows are accepted into the Hematology-Oncology Fellowship Program. Acceptance into the program is based on a complete evaluation of the applicant’s education, clinical performance, documented interest in research, and a strong potential for success in academic medicine.

The application and selection processes conform to ACGME guidelines. However, due to the large number of applicants and the restrictions placed on trainees by the NIH Research Training Grants available to us, we cannot consider applicants who are not citizens or Permanent Residents of the United States.
