Education and Fellowship Training
The Oncology Fellowship Training Program at the University of Washington is designed to develop academic physicians who are competent in clinical hematology/oncology and research.
Program Overview
The University of Washington Hematology-Oncology Fellowship Program is an ACGME-accredited program (ACGME #1555413151) aimed at preparing highly qualified physicians for academic research careers in the fields of hematology and medical oncology. Fellows complete clinical training requirements during the first 18 months of fellowship. Clinical training provides exposure to a broad range of disorders, including hematologic malignancies, benign hematology, transfusion medicine, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and solid tumor oncology. The remainder of time is spent in research training (generally 24 months). The research stage of the Fellowship Program stresses training in basic and clinical research methodologies and applications. Fellows can choose from a wide array of investigative opportunities, ranging from the most fundamental molecular level to clinical trials development. The Fellowship Program is funded by T32 training grants from the National Cancer Institute, participating hospitals, and a variety of institutional, and other private sources.
