The fellowship combines the resources of Temple University Hospital and Fox Chase Cancer Center. Each year four new trainees are accepted into the Program. The emphasis of the first two years is on clinical training. One year is spent at Fox Chase Cancer Center. During this year, the fellows are exposed to all aspects of medical oncology care.
Fellows longitudinally follow their own patients in continuity clinics over the course of the year.
Each fellow has separate clinics where they take care of breast cancer patients, lung cancer patients and GI cancer patients, respectively. Many of these disease oriented clinics are multimodality. There is an emphasis on exposure to the design and conduct of clinical research protocols. There are numerous inter-disciplinary conferences and journal clubs in all the above named disease sites as well as courses in biostatistics and basic science. Fellows also rotate through the family risk assessment and genetic counseling program.
