Hematology/Oncology Fellowship
Training in Hematology and Oncology
The BIDMC Hematology/Oncology Fellowship is designed to nurture the development of future leaders in the field and to provide superior clinical and research training in a supportive environment. Expert faculty members in the Division of Hematology & Hematologic Malignancies and the Division of Medical Oncology work closely and longitudinally with fellows as instructors, mentors, and future colleagues.
There are abundant opportunities for mentorship, interdisciplinary collaboration with world-class experts, and opportunities for rigorous professional development through collaborations and resources across the Harvard system. The program's goal is to produce scholars and thought leaders who will devote their careers, in different proportions, to patient care, education, and clinical, translational, or basic research.
The Hematology/Oncology Fellowship provides trainees with the opportunity to develop outstanding depth and expertise in clinical and scholarly areas of their choice and is designed to meet the professional and educational goals of each of its fellows.We provide opportunities for comprehensive training along three separate tracks, each lasting three years in duration:
- Traditional Hematology/Oncology Track: for fellows who seek training in Classical Hematology, Malignant Hematology, and Medical Oncology
- Hematology/Oncology & Hospice and Palliative Medicine Track for fellows who seek training in Classical Hematology, Malignant Hematology, Medical Oncology, and Hospice and Palliative Medicine
- Hematology Track: for fellows who seek training in Classical Hematology and Malignant Hematology
Our program fosters strong bonds among our fellows and faculty, through peer-to-peer learning, mentorship, collaboration, and a shared sense of community achieved both within the workplace and beyond. At its heart is an ethos fundamentally rooted in mutual respect and a relentless commitment to the pursuit of compassionate excellence.
Our Program Culture
Thursday Fellows Meeting
Every month, we meet off-campus for a meal and a space for fellows to raise topics or concerns to program leadership.
Thursday Fellows Meeting, Pt. 2
We also make use of our Thursday meetings to celebrate birthdays! Program Director Dr. Deepa Rangachari is always coming up with new festive ways to fête our fellows!
Red Sox Game
Did you know that BIDMC is the official hospital of the Boston Red Sox? We journey the short walk to Fenway Park from time to time!
Conferences
Going to conferences as a fellow is an amazing experience! Fellows go to at least one conference yearly: most attend ASH, ASCO, or ISTH.
Conferences, Pt. 2
After the daytime sessions end, fellows enjoy meals with each other, others in our division, and friends and colleagues from around the world!
Winter Party
We take the opportunities we can to celebrate and spend time together! Our APD Dr. Rushad Patell welcomed the whole fellowship and families for a winter party!
Bowling
There are many things to do in Boston, and we try to find time throughout the year to explore activities together. Here some of the first year fellows are out bowling.
