Global Oncology Elective Program

This is a non-mandatory elective for fellows to spend at least 1 month at University of Botswana School of Medicine during their 3 year Hematology-Oncology Fellowship. Fellows identify a research project based on Botswana’s needs in cancer care and their professional interest. The objective for their time in Botswana is to gain exposure to Oncologic care in a resource-limited setting and identify a research/quality improvement project that they can remain involved in throughout their remaining research blocks in fellowship. Participating fellows engage in regular seminars and research-related activities.
