City of hope cancer center hematology–oncology fellowship and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation fellowship

Abstract

The City of Hope (COH) ACGME-accredited Hematology-Oncology fellowship began in 1978 with two fellows and has grown up to seven fellows per year. It remained as the last fellowship independent of an Internal Medicine Training Program until its affiliation with Harbor-UCLA Internal Medicine Program as the Research Track of the fellowship in 1995. City of Hope Cancer Center is an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center, a founding member of National Comprehensive Cancer Network, and one of the top medical centers as named by the US News and World Report. This provides an ideal environment for learning patient care and research within both a county hospital and a tertiary teaching hospital setting. In addition, it provides ample opportunities for both basic science and clinical research in the latter years of the fellowship. The fellowship is a fully-funded 3-year program which provides experience through a multidisciplinary approach to prepare trainees for a successful career in academic medicine or private practice.
