Education
The core curriculum will consist of a comprehensive list of topics from benign hematology, malignant hematology as well as from solid tumors. Educational guidelines set forth by ASCO and ASH will be used as a template. Some examples of the topics that will be covered include biology of hematopoiesis, hemoglobinopathies, anemia, mechanisms of clotting, hypercoagulable states, white cell disorders, transfusion medicine, lymphomas, leukemias, bone marrow transplant, lung cancer, breast cancer, GI and GU malignancies, etc. Topics will be assigned to fellows as well as attendings who will present at our bimonthly core curriculum conferences. Following each presentation fellows will participate in a board review question session pertaining to that topic which will be arranged by the PD.
During outpatient blocks fellows will rotate through our specialty clinics such as GU, GI, breast with the attending(s) who specialize in those malignancies. During inpatient blocks fellows will round with our medical oncology and hematology teams as well as provide consultive services. Several electives will also be available. Fellows will also participate in several tumor conferences, journal club and research meetings.
