Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Application Process

How To Apply

Applications to the BIDMC Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program are accepted via the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS).

Applicants may apply to any number of the following tracks:

  • Traditional Hematology/Oncology Track
  • Hematology/Oncology and Hospice & Palliative Medicine (HOHPM) Track
  • Hematology Track
    •

The application deadline is August 1. Regrettably, applications received after this date cannot be reviewed.

Select applicants will be invited for interviews, which are held September-October annually.

BIDMC participates in the National Residency Match Program.

Application Requirements

All Tracks
  • Dean's letter from medical school
  • Medical school transcript
  • Department of Medicine letter from residency training program
  • A minimum of (2) and a maximum of (3) additional letters of recommendation
  • USMLE I, II, and III scores

ERAS Signaling

Beginning with 2025-2026 recruitment season, all Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program applicants will be allotted 5  “Gold” and 15 “Silver” program signals in ERAS.

  • While our program will preferentially review applications from those who do signal our program, we will also consider applicants who do not signal us.
  • All applicants should signal programs if interested. This includes internal candidates from BIDMC.
  • Please note that signals cannot be sent to specific tracks. Instead, signals are received at the  institution level, meaning that a signal for BIDMC will apply to all tracks that you are applying for (i.e. all of our tracks including Hematology/Oncology, Hematology-Focused, and Hematology/Oncology & Hospice and Palliative Medicine).
BILH-Wide Mandatory Vaccination Policy
To protect our patients, colleagues and communities, BIDMC is requiring all clinicians (including fellows and residents), staff, volunteers and contractors, regardless of role or location, to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and influenza. If selected for the Fellowship, individuals will be required to be vaccinated as a condition of employment.
