Founded in 1960, our three-year ACGME-accredited Hematology and Medical Oncology Fellowship Program offers the training and mentorship needed to become eligible for board certification in both Hematology and Medical Oncology. We accept three fellows per year and are based at the Dartmouth Cancer Center — Northern New England's only NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Our mission
Our mission is to train compassionate, scientifically rigorous hematologist-oncologists who deliver expert, patient-centered care across the full breadth of the specialty while advancing the field through inquiry, scholarship, and education.
Program AIMs
Our AIMs translate the program's mission into these specific outcomes:
- Clinical excellence. Each fellow graduate is eligible for board certification in both Hematology and Medical Oncology, prepared to practice in any setting, whether academic or community. Training encompasses malignant hematology, classical hematology, and solid tumor oncology, with stem cell transplantation and cellular therapy delivered entirely within our cancer center so fellows do not need to rotate elsewhere for core training.
- Scholarly engagement. Each fellow completes a meaningful scholarly project (or projects) aligned with their career goals, in clinical, translational, or basic science research; medical education; quality improvement; or global health.
- Individualized career development. Each fellow works closely with faculty mentors throughout training, with regular meetings to map career direction, develop scholarly interests, and adjust as goals evolve. The program's small size keeps mentorship personal and the cohort close-knit — a combination that supports both wellness and a sustainable career in the specialty.
