Overview
The Advanced Practice Provider Hematology/Oncology Fellowship is offered to Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners through Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (Fred Hutch) and the University of Washington (UW). This is one of the few cancer APP fellowships in the U.S.
Advanced Practice Provider fellows at Fred Hutch are Physician Assistants (PA) and Nurse Practitioners (NP) who aspire to care for patients with cancer and blood disorders. Each fellow should have completed a PA or NP training program and passed the initial board certification. Most fellows are new graduates or those with less than five years of experience. Each year, Fred Hutch accepts six new APP fellows to the program. The program start date is the beginning of November.
Fellows work with ~260 current advanced practice providers at the Fred Hutch, all of whom specialize in cancer.

Program Highlights
Fellows receive a generous stipend, medical and dental benefits, and CME support.
- Clinical training. Through intense subspecialty training at Fred Hutch and UW, fellows build expertise in hematology, oncology and stem cell transplant. APP fellows are an integral part of a patient's multidisciplinary team, working hand-in-hand with medical and support staff to provide patient-centered care and critical insights into the patient's treatment.
- Scholarly projects. APP fellows are encouraged to research projects of interest and to publish. Our fellows have a good track record of publication in scholarly journals.
- Academics. APP fellows are expected to participate in many regularly scheduled local conferences, such as the bi-monthly hematologic malignancy interdisciplinary patient care conference or the bi-monthly breast cancer conference. Fellows also have the opportunity to attend other classes and programs offered by Fred Hutch, such as statistical methods instruction or grand rounds lectures.
