Reflections on the Duke program
What were you looking for in a fellowship program?
I was looking for a supportive and collaborative environment that offers great exposure to not only oncology but also heme and transplant.
What are the strengths of the Duke program?
Duke offers a good balance of "bread and butter" heme/onc, rare or unusual pathologies, and stem cell transplant in a friendly and collaborative environment.
How are you involved in research? What are your research interests?
I am currently working with our PTCT group on a pilot for a novel conditioning regimen for patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies undergoing HSCT. I am also interested in better understanding the effects of social determinants of health on outcomes in our heme/onc and transplant populations peri-treatment and in survivorship.
