The Division of Hematology/Oncology is dedicated to delivering high-quality care to patients with hematologic/oncologic conditions, providing specialized training to the next generation of hematology and medical oncology caregivers, and engaging in top-notch basic and translational research.
We offer comprehensive multidisciplinary subspecialty clinics that provides expert diagnosis and cutting-edge treatments to patients with cancer and blood disorders. Working closely with colleagues in surgical oncology, radiation oncology, pathology, radiology, and other experts in the UMass Memorial Cancer Center of Excellence, allows us to provide outstanding individualized care to patients at all locations including our affiliated and member hospitals throughout central Massachusetts.
Our faculty are dedicated educators and serve as instructors in undergraduate and graduate medical education programs at UMass Chan Medical School. The Division hosts clinical and research learners on elective rotations offering an immersive subspecialty experience, while our three-year AGCME accredited fellowship training program develops the attitudes, knowledge, and skills necessary to become outstanding scholars, practitioners, and investigators in the field of adult hematology and medical oncology.
The division is actively engaged in basic, translational, and clinical research trials and are able to offer front-line cancer treatments thanks to the support from the UMass Cancer Research Office. Our physician-scientists can participate in translational and laboratory-based research in a supportive, collaborative, scientific environment, allowing opportunities to further explore their research interests.
We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We provide the highest standard of patient care and training excellence regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, identity, or social class while our hiring practices aim to ensure that patients and learners see someone who looks like them in these roles. The entire division participates in ongoing education, such as the Department of Medicine sponsored Unconscious Bias Training, so that we may deepen our understanding of these critical issues and affirm our commitment to treating everyone inclusively and equitably.
