Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program - Testimonials

“The M. D. Anderson fellowship program offered me a great variety of opportunities that other, smaller programs just don’t have. The size and diversity of the institution, its faculty, and the depth and breadth of research make it a goldmine, whether the goal is education or research. I was also impressed by the ability to undertake multiple projects at the same time, with the assurance that the patient volume of the institution almost guaranteed that if I did my part, the material for my projects was there. Finally, it was (and is!) the “can do” attitude of our faculty and our staff that makes this institution unique. There is no idea and no project that is too hard to undertake, and one can find support and collaborators for just about anything. And being part of the Texas Medical Center is an added bonus. There are internationally recognized experts in just about every field of medicine within walking distance, and certainly at the other end of a local phone call.”

“The medical oncology program at M. D. Anderson supported my education as an epidemiologist with an interest in health disparities as well as cancer survivorship. Although I have an active clinical practice, I also volunteer at our oncology clinic at a public hospital and am developing an active program for breast cancer survivors.”

“The opportunities to excel in clinical care and research at M. D. Anderson are tremendous. I felt like I was sitting down at a buffet table and there was more than enough for everyone. You have to decide what to put on your plate.”
