Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Fellowship Program

The goal of the Blood and Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (BMTCT) Fellowship Program (Joint Children’s National and National Cancer Institute/National Institute of Health Program) is to provide advanced clinical and research training to senior fellows interested in pursuing a career dedicated to the field of BMT and cellular therapy. BMTCT fellows will gain extensive experience in a wide variety of diagnoses. Fellows gain hands-on experience managing diverse diagnoses, overseeing patient care from initial consult through treatment and long-term follow-up in both inpatient and outpatient settings. 

By the second half of the year, BMTCT fellows have gained the expertise necessary to provide primary oversight over the BMT unit patients with support from the attending physician. They will work within an interdisciplinary team that consists of BMT faculty, hematology/oncology fellows, subspecialist consultants, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pediatric house staff, medical students, inpatient nurses, social workers, psychologists, case managers, nutritionists and other members of the inpatient and outpatient healthcare teams.

Upon completing this one-year program, fellows are proficient in delivering safe, effective BMT and cellular therapies. All past graduates have secured attending roles in established BMT programs.
