Required Qualifications for Fellowship Training

The Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program at Northwestern University is specifically oriented to train physicians with an interest in academic medicine. It is three years in duration and includes all of the American Board of Internal Medicine requirements for eligibility for board certification in both medical oncology and hematology. In addition, up to 18 months of protected laboratory time is available for fellows with an interest in laboratory-based research. Alternatively, individuals with an interest in clinical research are provided with a curriculum to develop a career in clinically based academic medicine.

At the present time, we can only consider residents who are in an ACGME accredited residency program in a US hospital, and if not permanent US residents, individuals must already have an appropriate VISA that will permit a 3-year stay for training (usually a "J" VISA). Appointment is contingent with receipt of a valid Illinois Permanent License.

Our program now accepts all applications through the ERAS website at http://www.aamc.org/students/eras/ and will fill all positions through the Match Program. Our application deadline for the year 2013 fellowship was August, 2012. If you plan to apply for our 2014 positions, your ERAS file must contain the following items before we can begin to consider your application:
