Program history
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, graduated its first hematology fellow in 1934. The hematology and oncology fellowships were separate for the next 49 years.
In 1983, a combined Hematology/Oncology Fellowship was established at Mayo Clinic's campus in Minnesota and received ACGME accreditation in 1987. We anticipate that 10 trainees will complete this program annually.
