Medical Oncology and Hematology

The faculty in the Yale Department of Internal Medicine’s Section of Medical Oncology and Hematology provide exceptional clinical care for patients with benign hematologic disorders, malignant hematologic diseases, and cancer.

Care is delivered in an academic setting where ongoing basic research programs related to these diseases seek to take discoveries from the lab into the clinic to raise the bar for more innovative and effective treatments for cancer and hematologic disease.

The section is also home to the Medical Oncology-Hematology Fellowship, a 36-month training program that provides comprehensive clinical training in neoplasia and classical hematology and a robust research experience to prepare fellows for lifelong careers in academic medicine.

Once separate sections, the Sections of Hematology and Medical Oncology merged in 2025 to enhance collaboration among faculty members focused on cancer and to maximize efficiency.
