Education

The Fellowship Training Program in Hematology, Oncology, and Transplantation is directed by Dr. Linda Burns and currently includes 16 fellows in years 1-4 of subspecialty training. The program is partially supported by a T32 training grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

Dr. Robert Hebbel is the principal investigator of this longstanding, competitive NIH Training Grant. The training is conducted at the VA Medical Center, Hennepin County Medical Center, Regions Hospital, and the University of Minnesota/Fairview University Medical Center (FUMC).

Institutional representatives on the HOT Division Fellowship Committee include Dr. Doug Rausch (Hennepin County Medical Center), Dr. Jeff Jaffe (Regions Hospital), and selected faculty from the University campus.

HOT faculty members participate in training of medical students through Clinical Medicine I-III and a variety of Medical School electives including Fundamentals of Oncology, Medical Oncology Consultation, Clinical Hematology and the Blood Pathophysiology Course.

Faculty also lead clinical training efforts of medical students and house officers in the inpatient and outpatient setting including regularly scheduled seminars held on three mornings each week for medical students and house officers. HOT Division educational efforts are led by Dr. Ed Greeno.
