Curriculum
Overview
As a tertiary referral center located in downtown Dallas, our primary training facility provides fellows experience in a broad range of pathology with a very diverse population base. Fellows are exposed to a wide variety of malignant disease, including:
- All types of solid tumors
- Hematological malignancies
- Non-malignant hematology disorders
Throughout training, fellows are given graduated amounts of responsibility for both acutely and chronically ill patients as they progress and learn about the natural history of cancer as well as acquire knowledge of the effectiveness of various therapeutic programs.
The training experience emphasizes basic pathophysiological mechanisms and therapy of neoplastic diseases. Fellows learn the appropriate use of laboratory tests, imaging techniques, biopsies and procedures used for the diagnosis and treatment of hematologic and oncologic disorders.
Fellows become familiar with design and interpretation of experimental protocols as well as the requirements of institutional review boards and the experience of obtaining informed consent from research participants. As part of the educational assessment, each fellow takes the American Society of Clinical Oncology Medical Oncology In-Training Examination annually.
