Overview
Thank you for your interest in the Hematology-Oncology Fellowship Program at Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx, NY.
Jacobi hospital is located in one of the most culturally diverse borough in US. Our fellowship program provides a broad clinical training in hematology and oncology through the care of a diverse patient population, including patients from Asia, Africa, Middle East, Central America, and the Caribbean.
The training program is designed to develop excellence in clinical skills while providing opportunities for the trainee to explore scholarly activities through resources available at Jacobi Medical Center and Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
The program accepts two fellows each year. Trainees who complete the three-year program should satisfy all requirements for eligibility for the American Board of Internal Medicine certifying examinations in both Hematology and Medical Oncology.
Fellows participate in ambulatory clinics at Jacobi (both hematology and oncology) throughout the three years. In addition, fellows provide inpatient consultative services for hematology and oncology.
Educational conferences include core curriculum didactics, interesting case conference, tumor board, Hematology grand rounds, Distinguished lecture series (Oncology Grand rounds), hemato-pathology conference, board review, and journal club.
Elective rotations take place during the second and third year at Jacobi Medical Center, Mount Sinai Hospital (bone marrow transplant), and Montefiore Medical Center (Blood banking, Coagulopathy clinic, leukemia/lymphoma). Subspecialty rotations available at Jacobi Medical Center include breast cancer, gyn oncology, and thoracic oncology.
