The University of Arizona College of Medicine and the Arizona Cancer Center offer fellowship training programs for medical internists wishing to specialize in hematology and oncology. The Cancer Center is a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center and one of the UA College of Medicine's centers of excellence.
Primary emphasis is placed on academic training in medical oncology and hematology.
The program in medical oncology requires 24 months of training for subspecialty certification. Certification in both medical oncology and hematology subspecialties requires a 36-month training period. Applicants must be Board-eligible or certified in internal medicine. Our program emphasizes training in academic medicine. The third year of fellowship provides intensive training in clinical or laboratory research or in practice of hematology and oncology, and is contingent upon academic performance and availability of funds.
