Objectives
The Hematology/Oncology Research is designed to provide students and residents with an educational experience in the conduct of clinical or basic cancer research. The goal is to produce physician-scientists who possess the skills necessary to bridge the gaps that exist between clinical medicine and cancer biology. Students completing the rotation will be exposed academic leaders in hematology/oncology who are able to vertically integrate their knowledge from the bedside to the bench. Students will be provided with a problem-oriented approach to research (either a process or an approach within a disease or a specific basic science issue) and will be trained to study research problems using both laboratory and/or clinical research techniques.
Evaluation
Student/residents are evaluated by the attending under the guidelines of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) research guidelines. Performance is evaluated based on attendance, participation, ability to generate hypothesis driven research questions, and completion of a final research paper.
