Hematologic Malignancies and Bone Marrow Transplantation Program
The University of Florida division of Hematology/Oncology has maintained an accredited program for
fellowship training since the late 1970’s. Currently, we have 4 approved positions in each of 3 years
and offer combined training in both disciplines. Our recent graduates pursue careers nearly equally split
between academic medicine and private practice. A significant number of our current and former
faculty has come through our training program.
