Fellowship Program
Developing a Fellowship
in a Rich Diverse Milieu
• Weekly half-day clinics provides longitudinal training in
continuity care with direct faculty mentorship
• Inpatient consultations focus on acute management of
neurologic involvement of systemic cancer or therapy,
acute and peri-operative care of primary brain tumor
patients and work-up of pati≤ents with potential brain
neoplasms.
• Required neuropathology and radiation oncology blocks
provide more in-depth exposure to critical aspects of the
diagnosis and treatment of brain tumor patients.
• 2nd year allows ≤50% protected time for research, either
longitudinally or in blocks to facilitate clinical and/or basic
science research projects via 1:1 mentorship by the
multidisciplinary faculty within NYP/CUMC
Developing a Fellowship
in a Rich Diverse Milieu
• Goal: Provide comprehensive training in clinical
care and cutting edge research for primary and
secondary brain tumors
• Varied exposures and supportive faculty to
ensure excellence in Neuro-Oncology, from
continuity clinics to inpatient consultations, plus
multidisciplinary collaborations in both patient
care and clinical and translational research
• Increasing level of independence
• Personalized professional development
