There continues to be a considerable need for physicians who have an interest in this scope of clinical practice as the field continues to expand. The current landscape of the Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant and Cellular Therapy Fellowship program at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital has placed it in a strong position to provide a unique and innovative training experience to develop the next generation of leaders in within this subspecialty, which is directly aligned with the tripartite mission of our organization.
