*Candidates for the ABIM Research Pathway will complete two years of Internal Medicine Residency (PGY1 and PGY2), and start fellowship in the PGY3 year. Following the PGY3 clinical year in Medical Oncology or Hematology, the fellow will spend the PGY4, 5, and 6 years in the lab/research arena. Fellows who plan dual certification in Hematology and Medical Oncology will complete 18-24 months of clinical Hematology and Medical Oncology prior to entering the lab; thus, extending the fellowship to a PGY7 year.
