CSHL and Hofstra Northwell Health Clinical and Translational Fellowship

Medical Oncology/Hematology Fellowship Program – Translational Research Training Track

In conjunction with Hofstra Northwell Health School of Medicine and the North Shore Hospital and Long Island Jewish Medical Center Division of Medical Oncology, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory will be participating in the newly created, ACGME-accredited Translational Research Training track of the Medical Oncology/Hematology Fellowship Program. The goal of this translational research-focused fellowship training program is to foster the development of academic medical oncologists who will focus on future research and innovation towards prevention, improved treatments, and ultimately the cure of cancer.

This training program will consist of 14 months of clinical training at Northwell Health hospitals and ambulatory cancer center in Lake Success, NY, followed by two years of post-doctoral translational research training at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. After successful completion, fellows will be eligible to take the medical oncology examination administered by the American Board of Internal Medicine.

  • Fellows will complete clinical requirements through inpatient rotations, outpatient rotations, and continuity clinic. For more information on clinical requirements, please visit the Northwell Health website.
  • During the remaining two years, fellows will implement and complete a research project under the guidance of a CSHL faculty mentor. Fellows will become skilled in research ethics, regulatory knowledge, biostatistics, research methodology and data computerization. In addition, the fellow will be exposed to various research seminars, research activities, and career development activities. To learn more about research at the Lab, view CSHL faculty profiles.
  • Fellows will have a basic translational research mentor from CSHL as well as a clinical translational mentor from Northwell Health Cancer Institute to guide the development of their clinical research training throughout this fellowship program.

Applications for our Medical Oncology/Hematology Fellowship Program should be submitted through the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS). Upon applying, candidates should choose the Medical Oncology/Hematology Track or the Translational Research Track. If selected, candidates will be invited to interview and tour CSHL and Northwell Health facilities.

Interested candidates are encouraged to send their CV to the Program Coordinator Kerry Wallace prior to submitting the ERAS application.

Applications are due August 15th.
