Overview

The fellowship is an intensive one-year program, June 2024 -July 2025, for physicians who have completed a hematology or hematology/oncology fellowship and wish to have advanced training in the management of patients with hemostatic and thrombotic disorders. The goal of the training is to prepare fellows for a career that will include care of patients with congenital bleeding disorders.

Fellows will complete eight weeks as the attending physician on the hematology consultation service at Emory University Hospitals.
