Hematology Oncology Fellowship Rotations

Rotations

Hematology and Medical Oncology Fellows have clinical rotations that encompass general oncology and various medical oncology sub-specialties. Core rotations include in-patient hematology and medical oncology consult service at St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center and outpatient clinics within the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) Network. Continuity clinic rotations comprise of three-month blocks across the different disease-focused and general oncology clinics in addition to scheduled electives depending on the volume of clinics. Fellows that are assigned to the inpatient consult service will not be assigned to an elective service to minimize the clinical service burden. While the majority of rotations will take place at DFCI-Brighton / St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center, senior fellows will rotate at additional sites within the DFCI Network including the DFCI-South Shore and DFCI-Milford campuses.
