BSD MED - Hematology and Oncology

About the Department

The Section of Hematology/Oncology is among the largest subspecialty sections in the University of Chicago\'s Department of Medicine. We are composed of more than 50 faculty members, 21 fellows, and a professional staff of over 200 employees, all of whom are devoted to growing our tripartite mission of excellence in research, patient care, and education. Our faculty are experts in their fields, and frequently publish and present prominently about their areas of research and clinical care. We take tremendous pride in training the next generation of leaders in hematology/oncology. Our fellowship has 7 positions per year, with an opportunity for fellows to develop research and clinical skills in a variety of fields related to hematology and oncology. We hold two T32 Training Grants (Medical Oncology and Clinical Pharmacology), as well as a K12 Paul Calabresi grant.

Our Section maintains an active research agenda, reflected in numerous clinical trials and grants. We are one of the few institutions conducting clinical trials in Phases I, II, and III of the drug development process. We take pride in focusing on both basic science and translational research, ensuring that clinical trials are available to our patients. We have many \"bench to bedside and back to bench\" trials leading to new treatments. This enables our clinicians to provide care that is truly at the forefront of oncological and hematological knowledge.

The Section of Hematology/Oncology is a component of the Department of Medicine, which was the first department created when the medical school began over 110 years ago. It has evolved into the largest department not only in the medical school with over 300 full time faculty but is also the largest department in the University. The main missions of the Department of Medicine, scholarship, discovery, education and outstanding patient care, occur in a setting of multicultural and ethnic diversity. These missions are supported by exceptional faculty and trainees in the department.

The Department of Medicine also takes great pride in providing unparalleled, comprehensive and innovative patient care. The Department\'s clinical excellence is continually recognized by the highly regarded US News and World Report. Each of the Department\'s sub-specialty practices are recognized as programs of national, regional, and local distinction for our novel diagnostic and therapeutic patient care offerings.

The Department of Medicine has a long and proud history of research and discovery in the basic, clinical and translational sciences. Currently, the Department of Medicine is among an elite group of medical centers who are leading in the discovery and delivery of personalized medicine. Our impressive pool of talented researchers is renowned for bridging the bench to the bedside, and clinical research evaluations of new drugs and devices. The educational mission of the Department of Medicine is to train exceptional healers and the future leaders in academic medicine.

The Department is home to four top residency programs and twelve fellowship programs, including seven federally-funded training grants.
