The Jimmy Everest Section of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology offers a
three-year ACGME-accredited fellowship with extensive, broad based
training in both benign hematology and malignancies in children and
adolescents. Our program prepares the trainee for a career in either
academic medicine, by providing a strong foundation in either basic or
clinical research and in a rich and diverse setting of clinical care.
Our program serves the western two-thirds of Oklahoma, providing
broad-based clinical exposure including multidisciplinary clinics
focused on CNS tumors, Sickle Cell Hemoglobinopathies, Bleeding and
Clotting Disorders, and Survivorship. We actively participate in the
Children’s Oncology Group and several other consortiums, conducting both
frontline and phase I and II studies. The three-year curriculum
comprises extensive clinical training during the first year, followed by
two-years devoted substantially to scholarly activities. Fellows
interested in laboratory based research training have access to research
labs throughout the OUHSC campus and, by specific arrangement, research
laboratories at OMRF. Clinical research training includes participation
in didactic coursework, clinical rounds, case conferences, research
seminars and mentored research projects. Fellows pursuing a clinical
investigative career may enroll in the Masters in Clinical Sciences
program through the OUHSC School of Public Health. Upon completion of
their training, fellows are eligible for board certification in
Pediatric Hematology/Oncology. Please contact us for further questions
about our training program.
