This 12-month fellowship provides a structured training program designed to prepare advanced practice providers for independent high-level clinical practice in one of the most highly specialized and rapidly evolving fields of medicine.

Program highlights

The Blood and Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) Fellowship is a comprehensive, year-long post-graduate training program that combines didactic education, mentored clinical experience, and scholarly activity. The curriculum is designed to build a strong foundation in BMT while developing critical clinical judgment and skills required to care for highly complex patients.

The fellowship aims to prepare learners to:

• Understand core principles of BMT, including basic hematology, hematologic malignancies, transplant indications, stem cell mobilization and harvest, conditioning regimens, disease monitoring, and post-transplant complications
• Apply disease-specific knowledge to patients seen in BMT, and malignant hematology
• Develop advanced clinical skills including comprehensive history taking, physical examination, diagnostic reasoning, and critical thinking necessary for high-quality BMT care, in addition to the diagnosis and management of graft versus host disease
• Provide safe, effective, and compassionate patient-centered care across inpatient, and outpatient transplant settings
• Cultivate lifelong learning skills, enabling graduates to independently maintain and advance their clinical knowledge throughout their BMT career.

Graduation and certification

Upon successful completion of the program, fellows will receive a certificate from Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences documenting completion of the 12-month postgraduate Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant BMT Fellowship.
