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.
The other clinical year occurs at Temple University Hospital. At this location, fellows will have exposure to all aspects of hematology, both benign and malignant. Temple University is a recognized leader in the field of coagulation research. A general oncology experience is also provided. Fellows also rotate through the bone marrow transplant service.
