The hematology oncology fellowship program at Henry Ford Hospital provides a
comprehensive clinical training across the entire breadth of hematological and
oncological elements,
such that our fellows graduate with confidence to practice in a setting of their
choice, be it in an academic setting or a community practice setting.
Our fellows are exposed to a plethora of pathologies from the patient base we
serve, as well as referrals to the Henry Ford Cancer Institute.
There are more than 15 different disease specific multi-disciplinary tumor
boards that our fellows participate in and have access to.
Our fellows value their continuity clinics,
where they carry their own panel of patients throughout the entire three years
of fellowship, their rotations in tumor specific and benign hematology clinics,
the daily noon conferences and clinical research opportunities.
Henry Ford Cancer Institute at Henry Ford Hospital has a long-term record of
producing some exceptional oncologists that have gone all over the country.
What makes this place really special are its people which
includes both the patients as well as the people who help us take
care of these patients.
The diversity at this place is something that you would notice both in terms
of the pathology that we see,
as well as the people coming from all over the world in this one
place trying to do the best they can for the patients.
The quality of teaching that we get in our department is exceptional
and research opportunities are plentiful.
But what I would like to really highlight is the
non-judgemental laid back and supportive,
closely knit atmosphere that we have in our department that really makes it one
of the best place to work at. I'm really,
really happy that I came to Henry Ford to train in hematology and oncology.
And I would definitely encourage you to you know,
visit us and see it for yourself.
Hi, I'm Sow Jana,
academician how to be a well-trained community oncologist.
I'm a first year fellow in department of hematology oncology at Henry Ford Health System. As a first year fellow, I came with a lot of apprehension on how to fill the shoes of an oncology fellow. Here we are given the structure and supervision required to ensure that we become a well-trained competent oncologist. It's a very supportive environment where professionalism, ethical principles, team work, and our potentials are furthered here. Our comprehensive training allows you to learn care for patients with a wide breadth of disease pathology. This is specific clinics and having fellow clinic where you feel like being a true oncologist from day one improves your confidence of being a good oncologist. I was looking for a program with high volume, which offered opportunities for research and scholarly activities and I think I found that at Henry Ford. From tumor boards, daily conference, or diarrhetics, I feel assured that I'm getting the most up-to-date knowledge while providing comprehensive and compassionate care for our patients. And one can walk out of this fellowship feeling ready to be an expert
My name is Matt Wilkins.
I'm a second year hematology oncology fellow here at Henry Ford Hospital in
Detroit, Michigan. Growing up in Michigan,
I always knew I wanted to be a fellow or do my fellowship here in Detroit,
but really it was the first day of my interview that I knew there was something
unique about this place. The sense of homeliness that I got,
and really just how open everybody was from the staff to the attendings. Really,
you know,
drew me to do my fellowship at this location and really this carried over into
my fellowship clinics, the hematology oncology clinics,
and working with your mentors itself.
We have a great disease pathology here as well, too.
Not only do we get new diagnosis as we also get referrals from outside centers
as well, being a tertiary care center.
And we also get a lot of second opinions as well too. During these times,
these patients are your patients.
They refer to you as their physician and really only your mentors are there to
help guide you through the care of these patients.
Not only do we have multiple tumor boards that we can present these patients at
for further recommendations and help with our colleagues in surgery and
radiation,
but also the clinical trial departments will be at these tumor boards while to
opening up avenues for treatments that these patients might not have if they
didn't come to Henry Ford hospital.
I really look forward to seeing you guys in the fall,
and I wish you guys the best of luck with your interview season.
