Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education’s Global Oncology Fellowship trains future oncology leaders from low- and middle-income countries. Based in Rochester, Minnesota, the two-year program combines intensive clinical training at a tertiary care medical center and comprehensive cancer center with research, leadership development, and teaching. Its structured but customizable curriculum spans radiation oncology, medical oncology, palliative medicine, diagnostic radiology, and radiation dosimetry.
Three months of dedicated research time support clinical, translational, basic science, or population health projects, including laboratory research, biology or physics studies, clinical protocol development, and informatics. Fellows receive mentorship and research support, with opportunities to present their work and develop continuing collaborations between Mayo Clinic and their home institutions. The goal is to strengthen fellows’ ability to advance oncologic care in their patients’ communities, institutions, and countries.
