Hematologic Malignancies Rotation

This month-long rotation for first-year fellows increases your inpatient and outpatient exposure to malignant hematology. You will attend outpatient clinics focusing on lymphoma, MDS/MPNs, myeloma, and bone marrow transplant. Participation will also involve a new Car-T unit at Santa Monica Hospital, staffed by an attending and nurse practitioners.

Inpatient Rotations

Trainees in the program rotate on primary and consultative inpatient services including the 30-bed Bone Marrow Transplant unit at Ronald Reagan-UCLA Medical Center, the 40-bed Solid Oncology ward at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center and Orthopedic Hospital, and Hematology/Oncology consult services at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center and Orthopedic Hospital, and the West Los Angeles VA hospital.

Outpatient Rotations

During the training program, fellows rotate through a variety of the division's hematology and oncology outpatient clinics held 5-days a week on the campus of UCLA and in Santa Monica. In addition, fellows care for outpatient hematology/oncology patients at the West Los Angeles VA hospital and the Sepulveda VA clinic. Fellows who wish to gain experience in community models of hematology/oncology may also choose outpatient rotations at UCLA satellite clinics in Pasadena, Valencia, Westlake Village, Porter Ranch, Irvine Laguna Hills and Ventura.
