Curriculum

The Medical Oncology Fellowship is a comprehensive 3-year program, accredited by the Jordanian Medical Council. As part of this program, fellows will engage in a variety of inpatient and outpatient clinical rotations, each focusing on different types of cancer and treatment methods. As fellows progress, they take on increasing responsibilities, gaining valuable hands-on experience in patient care.

In addition to clinical practice, fellows actively participate in multidisciplinary tumor boards and contribute to ongoing research, fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation. The fellowship program is punctuated with a series of lectures that delve into the core topics of medical oncology, journal clubs for scholarly discussions, and regular meetings to explore intriguing and complex patient cases.

This holistic approach ensures that fellows develop the expertise, critical thinking, and research skills necessary to excel in the evolving field of medical oncology.
