About The Hitchcock-Wilson Fellowship in Hematology, Oncology and BMT
The Hitchcock-Wilson Fellowship in Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT) was established in July 1995 and is supported by a private endowment. It is ACGME approved and provides a broad experience in Hematology, Oncology and BMT. Eligible candidates should have completed a three-year residency in Pediatrics and be board certified or board eligible. The program presently accepts two fellows per year.
The Division of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant represents the pediatric branch of the National Cancer Institute approved Comprehensive Cancer Center located at the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute which is located four miles from Children's Hospital on the campus of The Ohio State University. The division is composed of 11 faculty, three PhDs, and 6 nurse practitioners. This division sees over 150 new Oncology patients per year. The Stem Cell Transplant center performs 20-25 transplants per year. Types of transplants performed include peripheral blood stem cell, autologous, cord blood and matched unrelated donor transplants.

The Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center cares for 260 sickle cell patients and the Comprehensive Hemophilia Center treats more than 330 patients with bleeding disorders and 100 patients with thrombophilia. These comprehensive programs are among the largest in Ohio and are supported in part by state and federal funding. Children's hospital also has a multidisciplinary pediatric Hospice.
