Emory's Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program is designed for candidates who have long-term career goals in academic medicine. Offered by the Emory Winship Cancer Institute, the three-year fellowship leads to board eligibility in medical oncology and hematology. The four or five fellows selected annually each receive three-year stipends. Fellows who are interested in additional research training and have obtained faculty sponsorship may apply to federal or private agencies for research funding during subsequent years.

During the first year of training, hematology/oncology fellows receive broad practical experience in medical oncology and hematology through rotations at Emory University Hospital, Winship Cancer Institute, Atlanta VA, Grady Memorial Hospital and Emory Crawford Long Hospital.
Throughout the training period, in addition to clinical rotations, fellows have 18 months of research during the 3 year period.

Application Procedure
Fellows are selected for the program approximately 12-14 months before the start date of July 1; and are chosen on the strength of prior training, demonstrated clinical competence, and potential for an academic career in hematology/oncology bench and/or clinical research. We are no longer accepting applications for the program beginning July 1, 2008.

Applications are only being accepted through ERAS (Electronic Residency Application Service) starting in December 2007 for the July 1, 2009, start date.  We are participating in the Fellow Match, which will occur in June 2008.  In order to apply, go to the following website:  http://www.aamc.org/audienceeras.htm.  All applications and supporting materials should be submitted online or mailed to ERAS no later than January 31, 2008.
