We offer one of the few comprehensive pediatric Solid Tumor fellowship programs in the country. As a clinical fellow in our Solid Tumor fellowship program, you will receive state-of-the-art training in the diagnosis and treatment of common and uncommon solid tumors. Our fellows will gain expertise in cutting-edge therapies and will rotate in several services, including pathology, diagnostic imaging and clinical genomics. You will be part of a select cohort of clinical fellows across numerous pediatric sub-specialties, including:
• Hematology/Oncology
• Neuro-Oncology
• Pharmaceutical
• Psychosocial
• Infectious Diseases
Our clinic sees approximately 200 new solid tumor patients per year. The outpatient clinic has dedicated nurses and nurse practitioners. The inpatient unit is shared with neuro-oncology and is well staffed with hematology oncology fellows, nurse practitioners and residents. Solid tumor fellows have the option to do a limited number of inpatient weeks and act as a “junior attending” if they wish to do so during their one-year training.

We emphasize interdisciplinary care with multiple specialties including radiation oncology, surgery, orthopedic oncology, interventional radiology, diagnostic imaging, pathology and clinical genomics.
