The Hematology & Oncology Fellowship at UNC School of Medicine is an advanced subspecialty training program designed to provide comprehensive education and clinical experience in the diagnosis and treatment of blood disorders and cancers. The fellowship combines training in hematology, medical oncology, cancer biology, and multidisciplinary cancer care, preparing physicians to manage a wide range of malignant and non-malignant hematologic conditions and solid tumors. Fellows receive clinical training through inpatient and outpatient oncology services, hematology clinics, cancer treatment programs, and multidisciplinary tumor boards. The program emphasizes evidence-based cancer care, chemotherapy and targeted therapies, immunotherapy, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation exposure, clinical research, and academic development. The fellowship prepares graduates for careers as independent hematologists-oncologists in academic medical centers, cancer institutes, and clinical practice settings.
