fellows selected into this NCI-funded program. The curriculum includes:
- Laboratory research
- Clinical multidisciplinary conferences
- Coursework in cancer biology & writing
- Biweekly journal club in cancer research
- Career development sessions
- Annual research presentation
- Tumor Cell Biology Seminar Series
- Outpatient clinic one day per week
- Presentation at national meeting
