Mission and Aims

The Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program will offer training tailored to individual learners, promoting well-being, camaraderie, and humanism in medicine. Our fellows will learn to maintain their well-being and to renew themselves in the face of the challenges of their profession presents. Fellows will learn to bring meaning to their professional and personal lives through thoughtful and innovative changes in the conduct of their activities.

The University of Connecticut Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program will maintain a relatively unique and special spectrum of options for scholarly activity including opportunities at the Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine.

The University of Connecticut Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program will offer exposure and participation in highly visible national programs including a sarcoma and adolescent and young adult cancer, oncofertility, survivorship, supportive care and cardio-oncology programs.

Diversity and inclusion are foundational elements of the University of Connecticut Pediatric Fellowship Programs at Connecticut Children’s. Consistent with this focus we pursue diversity in all its varied expressions, including but not limited to, gender, race, ethnicity, physical ability, sexual orientation, and gender identity; with the goal of providing an educational environment that fosters the success of learners who are representative of the population of Connecticut, and a clinical environment that provides high quality healthcare to the myriad communities of the State.

On behalf of the Program Director, Andrea Orsey, M.D., MSCE, faculty and staff, we welcome you to explore this program. Please feel free to contact Brittany Valentine at bvalentine@connecticutchildrens.org with any questions.
