Oncology Research Fellowship

Spectrum Health Cancer Program Urologic Oncology Research FellowshipSpectrum Health is accepting applications for one- and two-year fellowship positions in Urologic Oncology.  The fellowships are designed to train individuals for a career in Urologic Oncology, and will be tailored to meet the specific interests of each fellow. Spectrum Health has the highest cancer volumes in west Michigan, providing multidisciplinary care of patients with kidney, prostate, bladder, testicular and adrenal cancer. One-year fellowships will include participation in research with Dr. Lane and other research mentors. We are currently involved in ongoing clinical, translational, and outcomes-based research in kidney, prostate, and advanced GU cancers. Fellows will participate in urologic oncology tumor boards, multidisciplinary clinics, and collaborations with partners from Michigan State University and Van Andel Institute. The fellow will participate in the Center for Personalized Cancer Care, which will offer targeted therapies to patients according to their specific genomic alterations. A two year fellowship with clinical responsbilities may be available for a board-eligible/board-certified urologist and will include participation in robotic, laparoscopic and open oncology surgeries, prostate and intra-operative MRI capabilities, and a developing active surveillance and focal therapy program for prostate cancer. BE/BC fellows may also have the opportunity to manage their own patients in the clinic and OR, with support from other staff physicians and physician assistants.Please direct all inquiries to: Brian Lane, MD, PhD Betz Family Endowed Chair in Cancer Research, Spectrum Health Chief of Urology, Spectrum Health Medical Group blaneppmd@yahoo.com For more information, visit http://www.spectrumhealth.org/urologic-cancer#
