As part of NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine’s Oncology and Hematology Fellowship, trainees participate in providing the full array of ambulatory and inpatient services and coordinate complex treatment protocols that involve collaboration with surgical oncology, infectious disease, rehabilitation, CyberKnife radiosurgery, and genetics counseling. Care is provided with the supervision of 11 full-time subspeciality-based attending physicians who are double board-certified in hematology and medical oncology.

The didactic portion of the curriculum aims to adapt to modern learners. The educational program includes weekly hematology and oncology teaching conferences, grand rounds, specialty tumor board meetings; a core summer orientation lecture series, simulation, journal clubs, and board review; clinical trials curriculum; and a book club with invited speakers.

Basic topics in the summer core lecture series include hematology and oncology, including pharmacology. There is a pharmacology lecture on the third Wednesday of every month. Division grand rounds are on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month. The hematology and oncology conference is for fellows at both the Long Island and Manhattan campuses.

Available elective experiences include oncology subspecialties, malignant hematology, blood bank, radiation oncology, stem cell transplant, gynecologic oncology, neuro-oncology, palliative medicine, and research.

All fellows attend subspecialized clinics with faculty throughout the three-year training program and dedicate time to scholarly and research activities. Faculty research interests are broad. Some notable interests include immunotherapy for lung cancer, monoclonal antibodies for multiple myeloma, and tumor marker validation in breast and lung cancers.
