FELLOWSHIP MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the SUNY Upstate Hematology/Oncology Fellowship program is to educate both highly competent and compassionate Hematology/Oncology physicians of the future. The education and training process are designed to provide trainees with a very comprehensive and in-depth knowledge of both Hematology and Medical Oncology. We also promote research training to equip our fellows with necessary skills to become independent and successful clinical and translational investigators. This allows for trainees to deliver a vital health care service based upon scientific principles, technical expertise, sound judgement, and responsible professional conduct.
