The specific scope of the fellowship will be highly dependent on your unique interests and intent.
You should already have a strong knowledge of the pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of common conditions in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology. As well, a solid approach to the evaluation of new clinical questions and a good understanding of the laboratory and diagnostic methods is necessary.
