Hematology and Medical Oncology Fellows

There are currently two palliative care training opportunities available to Geriatrics fellows at Mount Sinai:

Required Palliative Care Rotation

All Hematology-Oncology fellows at Mount Sinai and Lenox Hill Hospital are required to complete a 4-week Palliative Care Consultation Service Rotation. As the individual on the service most skilled in oncologic care, fellows are encouraged to offer suggestions related to the medical, surgical and radiation options for palliation.

Palliative Medicine Fellowship

Additional training in palliative medicine is available for those fellows who desire it. Previous fellows in hematology-oncology have chosen to augment their training with an additional year of training in clinical, educational, research and administrative aspects of palliative medicine. Upon completion of training, fellows are board-eligible in hematology, medical oncology and palliative medicine. This Integrated Fellowship is designed for those fellows wishing to develop a career as an academic leader in Hematology, Oncology and Palliative Care. Any interested fellows should discuss this possibility with Dr. Adrianna Malone of Dr. Lynn O'Neill.
