Vision Statement

“Our graduates will be capable of evaluating patients with simple or complex malignancies and hematologic disorders, and will provide quality care with compassion.”

Mission

The Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Training Program will provide an educational experience that prepares its trainees to continuously provide state of the art care to patients with all types of cancers or benign hematologic conditions in a manner that reflects our core values, to work to improve outcomes for patients with these diseases, and to effectively share their professional knowledge with others in the field.

Program Description

The UTHSC Hematology and Oncology Training program is a ACGME/ABIM approved combined three-year program that will allow its graduates to become ABIM board certified in the subspecialties of Hematology and Medical Oncology. This training is accomplished through a combination of required clinical rotations closely supervised by highly qualified faculty in addition to a broad array of clinical or basic science electives. Didactic teaching sessions, case presentation conferences and tumor boards foster multidisciplinary interaction among faculty and staff in related areas.
