Tufts Medical Center’s Division of Hematology + Oncology offers a rigorous, three-year ACGME-accredited fellowship that combines clinical instruction and research training in an academic setting. The program provides comprehensive education in benign and malignant hematology, hemostasis and thrombosis, advanced cellular therapies and solid tumor oncology.
Our fellows are prepared for diverse career paths, with many graduates advancing to leadership roles in academic medicine, clinical practice, industry and health policy.
Clinical training + research experience
The first year focuses on immersive outpatient clinical training at our hematology and oncology clinics. Fellows participate in:
- Long-term continuity clinics
- Shorter rotations across more than 10 subspecialty areas, including breast, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, gynecologic, head and neck, neurologic, thoracic oncology and both benign and malignant hematology
- A two-month rotation at Lowell General Hospital, providing experience in a community oncology practice
During the second and third years, fellows focus on advanced inpatient care with rotations in stem cell transplant, consultative services and palliative care, alongside an intensive, mentored research experience. The program emphasizes basic, translational, and clinical research training, supported by a comprehensive curriculum delivered through regular conferences and lectures. Fellows dedicate one half-day per week to continuity clinics and may explore additional subspecialty clinics, such as our nationally recognized Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Survivorship program. Elective time is available to tailor clinical experiences to each fellow’s interests.
Graduates are eligible to sit for board certification exams in both hematology and medical oncology, with most earning dual certification. This integrated training equips fellows with the expertise needed to excel in a variety of professional settings and advance the field of hematology and oncology.
