We have one open position for our Pediatric Hematology Oncology Fellowship Program for a first-year position starting in July 2026.
The Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans is thrilled to offer Louisiana’s only Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Fellowship and combined Medicine-Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Fellowship. Our division offers an accredited 3-year training program with positions available to 1-2 fellows per year. The program was formally accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in early 1989 and is the only accredited Pediatric Hematology/Oncology fellowship program in Louisiana. We also participate in the National Residency Match Program (NRMP). Our Pediatric Hematology-Oncology training program and our division provides care for patients across Louisiana and the Gulf Coast community from infancy into adulthood. We have the only FACT accredited hematopoietic stem cell program dedicated to children, adolescents and young adults in the state. Our primary focus is to produce Pediatric Hematologist and Oncologists with unparalleled clinical skills who will successfully transition into any clinical or academic setting including local, state-wide and nation-wide positions. To ensure success, we also prepare fellows to prioritize patient safety, to value inter-professional teamwork, and to improve healthcare quality for all.
A majority of the fellows’ clinical training will occur at Manning Family Children’s in New Orleans, a 229-bed not-for-profit pediatric hospital housing over 40 pediatric specialties and more than 400 physicians. Manning Family Children’s has been serving the children of Louisiana and the Gulf Coast for over 60 years and has completed a $300 million-dollar expansion. The Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Division has expanded their clinic services to the 4th floor of this hospital during this expansion. The outpatient and inpatient units are now housed on the same floor. The new Hematology Oncology Clinic has 16 clinic rooms and a new Infusion Center.
LSU has a long-standing academic partnership with Manning Family Children’s, and our faculty physicians have consistently been dedicated to the hospital’s success and growth. The program utilizes the clinical and research resources and faculty expertise available at the LSU Health Sciences Center, Stanley S. Scott Cancer Center , and Manning Family Children’s.
In addition, New Orleans is a wonderful city to live in and experience first-hand with a lot of cultural and entertainment opportunities outside of the workplace.
