First Year Curriculum<\/span><\/h3>\n

The first year is primarily clinical and is distributed approximately evenly between inpatient and outpatient experiences at the three hospital sites. Protected time is offered, for pursuit of elective experiences during the first year of training. Clinical rotations include both inpatient hematology\/oncology consultation and outpatient office-based practice. Continuity clinic opportunities are available at each location, in which the fellows assume primary ownership of their patients, with direct attending supervision and support. Fellows frequently supervise and teach residents and medical students, particularly when rotating at the University Hospital.<\/p>\n

Second and Third Year Curriculum<\/span><\/h3>\n

Fellows complete a total of 18 months in clinical rotations. The remaining 18 months offer an individualized track, depending on the fellow\u2019s interest in research, scholarship, and education. The requirements for the latter half of the program include clinical or laboratory research and a Quality Improvement project. Continuity clinic is a longitudinal, outpatient experience that spans all three years of training.<\/p>\n
