Education and Training

Sickle Cell Disease Advanced Fellowship

In 2022, BMC launched a one-year non-ACGME accredited fellowship in sickle cell disease to increase knowledge in the care of adults with sickle cell disease. This program, one of only two adult SCD fellowships in the US, was designed to increase the number of physicians who can care for adults living with SCD in the future.

Hematology Research Track

Fellows who are interested in hematology research can join the four-year hematology research track. While the clinical training is equivalent to the hematology/oncology fellowship, this track involves two years dedicated to basic, translational, or clinical research related to hematology.
