Our Division

The Division of Hematology/Oncology is a community of scientific colleagues to whom education and mentorship are a primary focus and a privilege. We offer comprehensive stimulating programs in both hematology and medical oncology that lead to board eligibility in both subspecialties. We prepare our fellows for fulfilling productive careers in academic medicine by encouraging them to explore and evolve in those aspects of science, pre-clinical and/or clinical, related to oncology and non-malignant hematologic diseases, that excite them. Our division is part of the Department of Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, and our faculty members are very active members of our NCI-designated Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University. We have 58 full-time faculty members and 9 Labs who are actively teaching 13 Hematology/Oncology trainees, performing $10.2 million each year in grant-funded research, and seeing 55,000 patient visits annually.
