How to Apply

Applicants must have completed a fellowship in Hematology or Oncology and obtain a California medical license. In rare circumstances, we may consider an applicant who completed an internal Medicine Residency Program and not a Hematology or Oncology fellowship.

Application Process

• Applicants should submit a CV and THREE letters of support to the Fellowship Director.

• An in-person or Zoom interview will be arranged for selected candidates. The interview process usually includes interviews with the Division Chief, Fellowship Director and Associate Director, several faculty members from the division, and current fellows, followed by a facility tour (only for in-person interviews).

• After collecting the feedback from the interviewers and discussion within the faculty members, the candidates will be notified by the Fellowship Director whether a training spot is offered.

Interview Selection: While the typical successful applicant to our program has demonstrated excellence in post-graduate training in Hematology/Oncology sub-specialty, there are no hard criteria or cut-offs used in the fellows selection process. The program values cultural diversity and has accepted candidates from all parts of the United States and abroad. The program values the broad range of experiences that our residents bring to the program.

Interview Process: The applicant typically meets with the Division Chief, Fellowship Director, and several members of faculty. In addition, applicants also meet with a current BMT-CT fellow. Candidates are also taken on a tour of the facilities. Each interviewer evaluates the candidate using the following criteria:

• Honors and publications

• History of previous training and research experience

• Letters of recommendation

• Personality aspects

• Communication skills

• Interview

After all interviews are complete, the Fellowship Director will collect evaluation forms from all members involved in the interviews.

The program selects trainees among eligible applicants on the basis of training program-related criteria such as their preparedness, ability, aptitude, academic credentials, communication skills, and personal qualities such as motivation and integrity, as well as professionalism. The program does not discriminate with regard to sex, race, age, religion, color, national origin, disability, or any other applicable legally protected status.
