Global Oncology Track
Announcing the Global Oncology Track
The department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania is pleased to offer a funded one-year career development track for radiation oncology residents supporting dedicated time during residency to pursue work in oncology-related global health (research, clinical exposure, and/or policy). Penn Radiation Oncology faculty has well-established collaborative relationships in countries around the world and active projects in several countries (Botswana, India, Tanzania, and Rwanda). Residents selected for this track will have an opportunity to spend up to 6 months in an international setting with co-mentorship from Penn faculty in country and Penn faculty in Philadelphia. The overall goal of this track is to develop future leaders in global health within radiation Oncology, and to provide resident trainees the skills and expertise to establish a career in radiation oncology-focused global health.
