Students in the three-year residency will learn common and unusual hematological and oncological problems, through clinical experience led by physicians who specialize in malignancies, solid tumors and bone marrow transplants. Residents have weekly observation and hands-on experience with spinal tap, bone marrow aspirate and biopsy procedures. Lectures, discussion and journal groups, seminars, tumor board and a final project presentation make up the academic schedule. The three-year fellowship focuses on bone marrow transplant, biology, blood banking, laboratory hematology and management of cancer and blood disorders in the first year. Fellows treat newborns to young children and counsel families. The second and third years focus on research and teaching presentation with a minimum of one half day clinical work weekly.
