Abstract
Advanced practice providers (APPs), including nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs), are part of a growing cancer care workforce. Current hematology-specific education provided by most graduate NP and PA school educations is limited. Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences launched a hematology-specific fellowship in 2018 to provide APPs with the skills and knowledge required to deliver high-quality specialty care in hematology and blood and marrow transplant (BMT). The fellowship curriculum was developed based on a needs-based assessment study as well as the qualitative reported experiences of current hematology-specific APPs. The curriculum contains didactic in-class education, research opportunities, and mentored clinical rotations in both inpatient and outpatient practice in hematology and BMT. This 12-month fellowship, one of the only postgraduate training programs dedicated to benign and malignant hematology practice, provides structured training for highly qualified graduate APPs interested in developing a rewarding career in hematology.
