The UCI/CHOC Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Fellowship is a three-year, ACGME-accredited training program that aims to develop outstanding pediatric hematologists and oncologists who will also serve as the next generation of innovators and leaders in the field.

The fellowship program is clinically based at Children’s Hospital of Orange County, a large, standalone children’s hospital with its own pediatric emergency room, a wide range of pediatric subspecialties, a large pediatric residency program of nearly 30 residents per year and several pediatric subspecialty fellowship programs, including critical care, endocrinology, infectious diseases, hospital medicine and emergency medicine.

Clinical Care

The first year of the program is focused on clinical care.

Research

After the clinical care year, fellows dedicate two years to basic, translational or clinical research.

Continuity Clinics

Throughout the program's three years, continuity clinics in hematology and oncology provide a consistent longitudinal experience that allows fellows to carry their own panel of primary patients.

Structured Yet Flexible Curriculum

We're dedicated to helping trainees develop competencies specific to the fields of pediatric hematology/oncology and are committed to the art and science of medicine as defined by the ACGME core competencies.

Leadership

Members of our faculty include internationally and nationally recognized experts in various areas of pediatric hematology and oncology.

Salary & Benefits

Fellows are paid according to the university/hospital pay scale for trainees based on their post-graduate year. This salary is competitive and considers the cost of living in Southern California. Visit the UCI GME website for more information about salary and benefits.
