Introduction
The Hematology Oncology Fellowship at Ascension Providence Hospital is a three-year program, which is designed to provide broad clinical experience in the diagnosis and management of solid and hematological tumors along with expertise in blood banking, coagulation, hematopathology, histopathology, bone marrow transplantation, and benign hematology. The program is organized to include participation and design the implementation of basic and clinical research.
Goals
The program has the participation of experienced clinical faculty, basic science and adjunct faculty including pharmacology, social work, hospice care, case managers, data managers, and clinical research managers and nursing. This program is geared towards developing expertise in delivery of compassionate care with cost containment and pharmacoeconomics and pharmacogenomics. The fellows will have the responsibility of writing medical orders under the supervision of teaching faculty and following the patients in the outpatient clinic. End of life issues are integrated within the teaching program. The final goal of this program is a successful board certification in hematology/oncology.

Rotations at the Karmanos Cancer Institute will include bone marrow transplantation, clinical pharmacology, along with the attendance of multi-subspecialty clinics. The third year will encompasses basic research, while attending lymphoma clinics, blood banking, hemopathology, bone marrow transplantation, management of the acute leukemia and genetic counseling along with consultation in benign hematology.
