The Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program at University of Chicago Comer Children’s Hospital has an opening for a fellow starting in July of 2025. We are an ACGME accredited fellowship program serving the diverse population of South Side Chicago, and a tertiary referral center for pediatric hematology and oncology patients in Illinois and Indiana. We have 50-70 new oncologic diagnoses a year and have a robust clinical trial program with research opportunities encompassing the full spectrum of hematology, oncology and stem cell transplant.
We embrace curiosity by fostering a mindset of continuous learning, exploration, and research. Fellows can cultivate a deep, ongoing inquisitiveness that drives personal and professional growth, ultimately leading to excellence in patient care and innovative advancements in the field. We ensure that all patients receive care that is fair and just, while fostering an environment where we grow together as a community of learners and caregivers. We embody equity by creating a healthcare environment where all patients receive fair, just, and personalized care, regardless of their background or circumstances. Through this comprehensive approach, we train exemplary physicians who lead with compassion and serve as dedicated ambassadors for their patients and communities.
