The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) received approval and accreditation from the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) for a Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Fellowship in the Department of Pediatrics. The fellowship will be a three-year training program that equips residency trained pediatricians with the skills and knowledge needed to care for children affected by cancer and blood disorders. In addition to the pediatric hospitalist medicine, this is the second fellowship training program to be accredited within the TTUHSC Department of Pediatrics. According to the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), there were 909 applicants for 638 positions offered at more than 160 U.S. hematology/oncology fellowships in 2021.

“Hematology/oncology fellowships are extremely competitive,” TTUHSC Executive Vice President and School of Medicine Dean Steven L. Berk, M.D., said. “This ACGME accreditation is evidence of our commitment to ensuring our residents in this field are well prepared and ready for future practice. I appreciate our department and Graduate Medical Education leadership for their vision and dedication to standing up this new fellowship program, and to our important teaching hospital partners that help fund the fellow positions.” MORE
