You will be part of a select cohort of clinical fellows across numerous pediatric sub-specialties, including: Hematology/Oncology, Neuro-Oncology, Pharmaceutical, Psychosocial, and Infectious Diseases. Our clinic sees approximately 200 new solid tumor patients per year. The outpatient clinic has dedicated nurses and nurse practitioners.
