Surgery. Chemotherapy. Radiation therapy. Intensive care. Terminal care. Clinical trials. Mentored research. Direct training with internationally recognized specialists. During your fellowship in Gynecologic Oncology at Roswell Park, you’ll be an integral part of patient care, from robotic surgery and radiation therapy to clinical trials and palliative care.
Our collaborative, translational medicine model connects fellows with clinicians, researchers and specialists who understand every aspect of cancer science. We’re a free-standing NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center – and that makes us the best place to learn, investigate, and cure.
Join us at the forefront of cancer treatment and research.
Fellowship highlights
During your three-year fellowship, you’ll get intensive, comprehensive training in managing gynecologic malignancies, as well as clinical and translational research.
Your research work will prepare you for the next step towards a career in academic gynecologic oncology, including writing scientific manuscripts and presenting at major national meetings.
The rigorous clinical training covers every aspect of patient care, including comprehensive training in robotic surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, intensive care, and terminal care.
Our translational medicine model connects fellows with clinicians and scientists who understand every aspect of cancer science.
I chose Roswell Park to complete my fellowship because it is a world-renowned research and patient-centered care facility. It’s a privilege to be a part of a community dedicated to advancing the care and treatment of women facing gynecologic cancers. Everything from ground-breaking basic science research to an extensive clinical trial portfolio is offered here for trainees to learn and gain experience from. I have become a well-rounded surgeon, clinician and researcher under the mentorship of our esteemed faculty.
Class of 2024
Research training
The first year of fellowship is dedicated to research — our goal is to tailor this experience to the interests of the incoming fellow. There are three primary tracks that are offered:
- Population Science: Research focuses on addressing gynecologic cancer development and outcomes at a population level.
- Translational: The year is spent engaging in lab based research within one of the basic science labs affiliated with the Department of Gynecologic Oncology.
- Clinical Investigator: This track focuses on clinical trial development, initiation and administration.
Within these tracks, fellows typically focus on one of Roswell Park’s six key areas of scientific inquiry:
- Educate and train physicians to provide consultative services and comprehensive management of patients with gynecologic malignancies
- Provide fellows with an educational clinical cancer experience so they may gain the necessary knowledge and skills in the diagnosis and medical and surgical management of women with gynecologic malignancies
- Provide fellows with the knowledge and skills necessary to fulfill the educational objectives specified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology Division of Gynecologic Oncology and The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
- Encourage and assist fellows to gain the necessary knowledge, skills and responsibility in a graduated fashion, so that ultimately each fellow develops as an independent consultant in gynecologic oncology
- Provide a mentored research experience for fellows in basic laboratory and/or clinical research in order to promote the fellow’s academic contributions to gynecologic oncology, and to provide fellows with the necessary skills to obtain independent research funding
- Provide opportunities for fellows to interact with other scientists and sub-specialists in order to enhance their understanding of the latest scientific techniques and developments
- Foster the development of teaching so fellows may impart the knowledge gained through the fellowship to medical students, residents, individuals pursuing a career in health care, and colleagues
- Stimulate career development in academic medicine
