Comprehensive Sarcoma Fellowship
Comprehensive Sarcoma Fellowship
The Comprehensive Sarcoma Fellowship at Nationwide Children's Hospital offers a one-year fellowship for qualified physicians who've completed a basic three-year program in pediatric hematology/oncology, and who wish to pursue further training in Sarcoma.
The fourth-year fellowship in sarcoma is designed to allow individuals who have completed a hematology/oncology fellowship program an additional year to develop expertise in the biology and management of these often challenging cases. The oncology faculty at Nationwide Children's Hospital has a unique mix of clinical and basic research expertise, and an emphasis is placed on understanding the biologic factors that drive tumor development, impact outcomes, and influence new agent development for sarcoma patients. The fellow also spends time with experts at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center to broaden their exposure to different ideas in sarcoma management, and participates in teaching medical students and residents. Lastly, while the curriculum is balanced between clinical and research time, the program is designed to allow flexibility to meet the needs of the individual trainee.
The clinical fellowship position is available beginning July 1, but other accommodations may be possible for qualified individuals. The fellowship extends over 12 months, providing exposure to several disciplines.
