1 Hematology and Oncology Curriculum Program overview The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center provides a three year combined Hematology/Oncology fellowship training program in which is administered by the Department of Internal Medicine and which is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) following the guidelines of the American Board of Internal Medicine. Trainees must first successfully complete a three year residency in Internal Medicine at an ACGME accredited program. The fellowship therefore provides training at the PGY 4-6 levels. Goals and The goal of the Hematology/Oncology fellowship program is to provide quality subspecialty training to fellows in the combined disciplines of hematology and oncology so that trainees will be able to function competently as clinical consultants, provide high-quality direct patient care (both in-patient and out-patient), and perform related procedures competently. Training builds upon and extends six general, core competencies developed in residency training: patient care, medical knowledge, practice-based learning and improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, and systems-based practice. The program seeks to prepare subspecialists for future careers in either clinical practice or in academic/research settings. The program seeks to achieve these goals through appropriate clinical experience under the supervision of qualified and dedicated faculty, through didactic exercises, and through exposure to and/or direct experience in clinical/basic science investigation.

2 Parkland/Zale-Lipshy hematology consult service: Description of rotation: A team consisting of a Hematology/Oncology attending, fellow and internal medicine resident(s) are responsible for handling the Hematology consults for both hospitals. The fellow will receive the consults, and either the fellow or the resident will perform the initial consultation. The consults will then be presented to the assigned supervising attending. The attending will round with the team daily to see all new consults and prior consults that require continued follow up and will be available by pager to provide supervision and assistance at all times during the rotation. Goals of the rotation: Goals of the rotation include gaining experience/expertise and knowledge in the following: Diagnosis, pathology, staging, and management of neoplastic disorders of the lymphoid organs and hematopoietic system. Indications and application of imaging techniques in patients with neoplastic and blood disorders Chemotherapeutic drugs, biologic products, and growth factors Multiagent chemotherapeutic protocols and combined modality therapy of neoplastic disorders Management and care of indwelling access catheters Principles of, indications for, and limitations of surgery and radiation in the treatment of cancer Management of pain, anxiety, and depression Concepts of supportive care, including hematologic, infectious disease, and nutrition Management of the neutropenic and immunocompromised patient Rehabilitation and psychosocial aspects of clinical management of patients with cancer and hematologic disorders Palliative care, including hospice and home care Recognition and management of paraneoplastic disorders Cancer prevention and screening, including genetic testing Participation in multidisciplinary case management conference or discussion Personal development, attitudes, and coping skills of physicians who are for critically ill patients HIV related malignancies Care and management of the geriatric patient with malignancy and hematologic disorders The appropriate use of tumor markers for cancer screening and monitoring cancer therapy Correlation of clinical information with cytology, histology, and immunodiagnostic imaging techniques Effects of systemic disorders and drugs on the blood, blood-forming organs, and lymphatic tissues Tests of hemostasis and thrombosis for both congenital and acquired disorders and regulation of antithrombotic therapy Treatment of patients with hemostasis disorders and the biochemistry and pharmacology of coagulation factor replacement therapy Transfusion medicine Acquired and congenital disorders of red cells, white cells, platelets, and stem cells Congenital and acquired disorders of hemostasis and thrombosis including the use of antithrombotic therapy Interpretation of partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, platelet aggregation and bleeding time Patient care Goals The fellows must be able to provide patient healthcare that is compassionate, appropriate, and effective for the treatment of health problems and the promotion of health. Fellows are expected to learn the practice of health promotion, disease prevention, diagnosis, care and treatment of men and women from adolescence to old age, during health and all stages of disease.

3 The fellows on this rotation are expected to gain expertise/experience in the following: 1) Evaluation of patients with a wide variety of hematologic disorders, and the formulation of diagnostic and treatment plans for these patients. 2) Performance and interpretation of bone marrow biopsies and aspirates 3) Delivery of chemotherapy through all therapeutic routes and apheresis procedures 4) Serial measurement of tumor masses and assessment of tumor imaging by CT, MRI, PET and other nuclear imaging First-year fellows: 1) The first year fellow on this rotation will begin to develop the skills to independently assess and manage patients with a wide variety of hematologic disorders. The expectation is that the first year fellow will be able to collect and present the relevant patient data to the supervising attending. The first-year fellow is also expected to be able to present diagnostic and treatment recommendations to the supervising attending at the time of presentation for review and approval by the supervising attending. It is expected that (especially early in the first year) the first year fellow will require more close supervision by the attending. The successful completion of this objective will be assessed by direct observation of the supervising attending as reflected in the attending s evaluation of the fellow at the end of the rotation. 2) The first year fellow on this rotation will also begin to acquire the skills required to perform bone marrow biopsies and aspirations. The first 5 bone marrow biopsies and aspirations that the fellow performs will be directly observed by the supervising attending or another fellow or practitioner that has been designated as proficient in the procedure. Once 5 procedures have been completed, the fellow can perform subsequent bone marrow biopsies and aspirations independently which will allow for continued refinement of his/her technique. The successful completion of this objective will be assessed by direct observation of the supervising attending as reflected in the attending s evaluation of the fellow at the end of the rotation. In addition, completion of this objective will be assessed through successful completion of the on-line procedure log, as required to document proficiency in bone marrow biopsy and aspiration. 3) The first year fellow on this rotation will develop the skills required for interpretation of bone marrow biopsies and aspirates and peripheral blood smears. Bone marrow biopsies and aspirations as well as peripheral blood smears will be reviewed on all patients for whom they are relevant. The first year fellow is expected to be able to identify normal blood elements in the peripheral blood and bone marrow (initially with the assistance of the supervising attending). The first-year fellow is also expected to be able to begin to identify abnormalities in the blood elements (again initially with the assistance of the supervising attending). The successful completion of this objective will be assessed by direct observation of the supervising attending as reflected in the attending s evaluation of the fellow at the end of the rotation. 4) The first year fellow is expected to develop the skills require to perform serial tumor measurements. The first year fellow is expected to review relevant imaging on all patients and perform tumor measurements as indicated. This will initially be under the guidance of the supervising attending; the expectation is that the fellow will quickly gain independence in this skill. The successful completion of this objective will be assessed by direct observation of the supervising attending as reflected in the attending s evaluation of the fellow at the end of the rotation. 5) The first year fellow on this rotation will also begin to acquire the skills required to administer chemotherapy through all therapeutic routes (e.g. via lumbar puncture and Ommaya reservoir). The first 5 chemotherapy administrations that the fellow performs will be directly observed by the supervising attending or another fellow or practitioner that has been designated as proficient in the procedure. Once 5 procedures have been completed, the fellow can perform subsequent administrations independently which will allow for continued refinement of his/her technique. The successful completion of this objective will be assessed by direct observation of the supervising attending as reflected in the attending s evaluation of the fellow at the end of the rotation. In

4 addition, completion of this objective will be assessed through successful completion of the online procedure log, as required to document proficiency in administration of chemotherapy through all therapeutic routes. Second-year fellows: 1) The second year fellow on this rotation will begin to develop independence in the skills of assessment and management of patients with a wide variety of hematologic disorders. The expectation is that the second year fellow will be able to perform initial assessment and management of routine cases without the assistance of the supervising attending (though that assistance will be available if needed). The second-year fellow may still need assistance from the supervising attending on complex or difficult cases that require more experience. The successful completion of this objective will be assessed by direct observation of the supervising attending as reflected in the attending s evaluation of the fellow at the end of the rotation. 2) The second year fellow on this rotation will further develop the skills required for interpretation of bone marrow biopsies and aspirates and peripheral blood smears. Bone marrow biopsies and aspirations as well as peripheral blood smears will be reviewed on all patients for whom they are relevant. The second year fellow is expected to be able to identify many of the common abnormalities in the bone marrow and peripheral blood. It is expected that consultation with the supervising attending may be required for less common or more difficult cases. The successful completion of this objective will be assessed by direct observation of the supervising attending as reflected in the attending s evaluation of the fellow at the end of the rotation. 3) The second year fellow will further refine the skills required to perform bone marrow biopsies and aspirates, tumor measurements, and administration of chemotherapy through all therapeutic routes. It is expected that most second year fellows will already be qualified to perform these procedures independently, but have the opportunity to further develop these skills. The successful completion of this objective will be assessed by direct observation of the supervising attending as reflected in the attending s evaluation of the fellow at the end of the rotation. Third year fellows 1) The third year fellow on this rotation will further develop the skills of assessment and management of patients with a wide variety of hematologic disorders. The expectation is that third year fellow will be able to independently develop and initiate a diagnostic and therapeutic plan for most patients on the service. Supervision and feedback from the supervising attending will be available at all times. It is expected that only on the most difficult and complex cases will input from the supervising attending be required prior to the initiation and development of a diagnostic or therapeutic plan. The successful completion of this objective will be assessed by direct observation of the supervising attending as reflected in the attending s evaluation of the fellow at the end of the rotation. 2) The third year fellow on this rotation will further refine the skills required for interpretation of bone marrow biopsies and aspirates and peripheral blood smears. Bone marrow biopsies and aspirations as well as peripheral blood smears will be reviewed on all patients for whom they are relevant. The third year fellow is expected to be able to identify the majority of the common abnormalities in the bone marrow and peripheral blood. It is expected that consultation with the supervising attending may be required for less common or more difficult cases. The successful completion of this objective will be assessed by direct observation of the supervising attending as reflected in the attending s evaluation of the fellow at the end of the rotation.

In addition, they will demonstrate extensive knowledge of the common chemotherapeutic agents and their toxicities and management. The successful completion of this objective will be assessed by direct observation of the supervising attending as reflected in the attending s evaluation of the fellow at the end of the rotation. Practice based Learning and Improvement Fellows must demonstrate the ability to investigate and evaluate care of patients, to appraise and assimilate scientific evidence, and to continuously improve patient care based on constant self-evaluation and life long learning. Fellows are expected to develop the skills and habits to be able to: Identify strengths, deficiencies, and limits in one s knowledge and expertise Locate, appraise and assimilate evidence from scientific studies related to their patients health problems

14 First-year fellows 1) The first year fellow will be expected to identify the strengths and limitations of their knowledge and to supplement their knowledge with review the basic literature (textbooks, review articles) relevant to the patients on the service. They are expected to incorporate their review of that literature into the development of a treatment plan and their presentations to the supervising attending physician. They will also be expected to begin to search and review the recent scientific literature relevant to their patients and to incorporate it into their treatment plans and presentations. The successful completion of this objective will be assessed by direct observation of the supervising attending as reflected in the attending s evaluation of the fellow at the end of the rotation. 2) The first year fellow will identify interesting cases for presentation at the weekly combined modality conference. They will utilize the supervising attending to assist with identification of interesting cases and the relevant teaching points. They will present 1-2 cases during their month on the rotation. They will review the scientific literature for the case and will present the case and their review of the literature to the conference. The successful completion of this objective will be assessed by direct observation of the supervising attending as reflected in the attending s evaluation of the fellow at the end of the rotation as well as through peer and faculty evaluations of their oral presentations at conference. Second-year fellows 1) The second-year fellow will be expected to identify the strengths and limitations of their knowledge and to frequently supplement their basic knowledge with review of the most recent scientific literature relevant to the patients on the service. They are expected to incorporate their review of that literature into the development of a treatment plan and their presentations to the supervising attending physician.
