Training Opportunities

Resident Electives

Select pediatric residents may be approved for a 4-week elective rotation at The Pediatric Oncology Branch (POB). The rotation emphasizes the important connection between research and patient care in pediatric oncology. The Resident will be supervised directly by the POB attending physician and clinical fellows. Residents will attend daily inpatient and outpatient rounds and multiple weekly POB conferences. Residents are expected to research relevant topics and present a 30-minute talk toward the end of their rotation. This is a highly specialized rotation and only residents with experience and/or interest in pediatric oncology will be considered and possibly selected, on an occasional basis. Applicants will be selected based on review of the trainee’s credentials and cover letter, which should outline their goals for the rotation. Only one resident will be allowed per session. Availability may be limited due to programmatic constraints. For more information please visit Elective Rotations for Residents and Clinical Fellows: Resident Electives.
