Director's Welcome

Thank you for your interest in the Hematology/Oncology Fellowship program at the UMKC School of Medicine.

Our training program has a great deal to offer physicians interested in a strong and diverse clinical training experience in the fields of hematology and oncology. Our emphasis has always been on training subspecialist physicians capable of providing high-quality care to any patient with cancer or non-malignant conditions of the blood. Our three-year, combined certification program provides training leading to American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) board eligibility in both hematology and oncology.

The Hematology/Oncology Fellowship program is based at two of the university’s primary teaching hospitals: University Health Truman Medical Center, the city hospital for Kansas City, Mo., which is dedicated to providing high-quality healthcare to all residents of the city and county, regardless of their financial circumstances; and Saint Luke’s Hospital of Kansas City, a large, private hospital with a focus on tertiary, subspecialty care.

If your primary interest is in developing your clinical skills as a consulting physician in hematology/oncology, I hope you will seriously consider our training program.
