When do Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Fellowships Typically Start?

Hi everyone! I'm a medical student interested in specializing in pediatric hematology-oncology. I was wondering when most fellowships in this field typically start? Are there any specific requirements or qualifications needed to apply? Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated! #oncology #cancer treatment #healthcare #medicalinformation

Hello! Most pediatric hematology-oncology fellowships start after completing a pediatrics residency, typically in July. To apply, you'll need to have completed your residency and be board-eligible in pediatrics. Additionally, many programs require USMLE or COMLEX scores, letters of recommendation, and personal statements. It's a good idea to research individual programs for specific requirements. #fellowship #pediatrics #medicaleducation

That's correct! I work with many fellows in this field, and they all completed their residency first. It's also important to note that many programs offer research opportunities during the fellowship, so if you're interested in research, be sure to look for programs that align with your interests. #research #oncologynursing #fellowship
