Education
World renowned faculty and world-class facilities — a unique learning experience through the Office of Cancer Education and Training.
High-impact cancer science. Translational medicine.
In 1898, Dr. Roswell Park established the first cancer center in the United States. He brought researchers and clinicians into one "dedicated setting" to study and treat malignant disease. His goal was to assemble scientists "fitted for such work.”
More than 120 years later, we’re one of the few Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the country, with world-renowned faculty and world-class facilities. Our interdisciplinary focus means you’ll work in a unique immersive environment you won’t find anywhere else.
Roswell Park is ranked among the world's best specialized hospitals
Roswell Park is the only Upstate New York center to be named in the top 50 of Newsweek's 2023 World’s Best Specialized Hospitals for Oncology — and the only Buffalo-area center to be included on the full list of 250 top cancer hospitals internationally.
The Office of Cancer Education and Training (OCET) is committed to training the next generation of cancer research professionals through the coordinated implementation of rigorous training and career development programs. As the coordinating hub for all educational programming at Roswell Park, OCET is responsible for a portfolio of immersive cancer research experiences for students, postdoctoral training, residency and internship programs, as well as faculty and career development programs.
