Clinical Experience Rotation: Students will work with the supportive care medicine consult service and assist with the management of patients with cancer and/or cancer therapy-related symptoms. A multidisciplinary approach towards patient care will provide the student with the opportunity to interact with patients, physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other health care personnel.

Research Experience Rotation: Students will gain clinical research experience by designing retrospective research study protocols, collecting and analyzing data, preparing original research or literature review manuscripts for publication, and peer-reviewing abstracts and publications.
