The fellowship program in the Division of Hematology and Oncology offers broad training in clinical hematology and medical oncology. The primary goal of the fellowship program is to provide trainees with in-depth clinical experience and a basic foundation in medical science and research methodology.
The program is sponsored by the Department of Internal Medicine at Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine and its participating hospitals are Good Samaritan Hospital and Health Center (GSH) and the Dayton Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC). Other facilities utilized for training include the Community Blood Center of Dayton and the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - James Cancer Hospital (OSU) for clinical experience in stem cell transplantation.
The duration of training is three years. The trainee who completes the three-year program will satisfy all the requirements for eligibility to sit for certifying examinations in both hematology and medical oncology as recommended by the American Board of Internal Medicine.
