For applicants interested in the UMMS/NIA Medical Oncology track, applications should be submitted through the ERAS through the Hematology/Oncology application. Interest in this track should be communicated by email to Alicia Hendrix, the fellowship coordinator, and the details of the program will be discussed during the candidate's interview. Suitable candidates may be invited back for a second interview on the NIA campus. The ERAS rank order list for the two tracks are separate; applicants can rank the UMMS/NIA track either alone or in addition to the UMGCC Heme/Onc fellowship program.

Upon review of these materials, we will inform you of opportunities for a visit to the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Cancer Center to meet with members of the Senior Staff, tour the facilities, and develop a greater understanding of our program.
