Oncologic Emergency Medicine Fellowship
The Oncologic Emergency Medicine Fellowship is designed to train fellows for careers in academic medicine and provide training in state-of-the-art clinical care and cutting edge clinical and basic science research. Our program is accredited by the Texas Medical Board (TMB) and accepts up to two fellows yearly.
Fellows participating in the Oncologic Emergency Medicine Fellowship receive exceptional training and insight into the emergency treatment of cancer patients. The Acute Cancer Care Center at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, one of the largest cancer research repositories in the world, treats more than 26,000 patients annually with more than 95% having a cancer diagnosis. As such, the institution provides a rich environment for oncology education and research and provides a gateway to a unique perspective into the treatment and research of oncologic emergencies.

MD Anderson Cancer Center is committed to encouraging good health and staying true to our mission to end cancer. If you are applying for a GME fellowship or residency program starting on or after July 1, 2016, please be advised that MD Anderson will have instituted a tobacco-free hiring process as part of its efforts to achieve these goals. If you are offered an appointment, you will be subject to a Pre-Employment Drug Screen for tobacco compounds in compliance with applicable state laws. If you do not pass the urine drug screening which includes testing for tobacco compounds, you CANNOT be appointed at MD Anderson. Should you fail to meet this contingency, MD Anderson will withdraw your offer of appointment for the academic year. You may reapply for the following academic year, but there are no guarantees that you will be offered a position as many of our programs are already filled for several years out.
