Past surveys of Program Directors identified a knowledge gap, due to the educational focus of residency vs. that of fellowship, which may leave incoming fellows underprepared for advanced specialty training, particularly in terms of surgical skills, clinical responsibility and medical knowledge. This program seeks to address those potential knowledge gaps with lectures on: Pelvic Anatomy, Chemotherapy and Targeted Therapeutics, Immunotherapy/Toxicities, Palliative Care, Clinical Trial Design, Radiation Oncology, and Research Fundamentals. All first-year clinical fellows are eligible and invited to participate.
