Program Information
Neuro-Oncology is a developing pediatric subspecialty that is in constant evolution as innovative diagnostic strategies, therapeutic, and prognostic factors are being identified. There continues to be a considerable need for physicians who have an interest in this scope of clinical practice as the field continues to evolve.
The current landscape of the neuro-oncology program at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital has placed it in a strong position to provide a unique and innovative training experience to develop the next generation of leaders in pediatric neuro-oncology, which is directly aligned with the tripartite mission of our organization.
This fellowship program overlaps two of the institutes at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital – the Cancer and Blood Disorders Institute and the Hough Family Institute for Brain Protection Sciences. These two institutes work closely together and share physical space for the physician leaders which promotes collaboration of patient care, research and program development.
The neuro-oncology care team also includes physician leaders from Neuropathology, Neurosurgery, and the Division of Neuroradiology. Additionally, the high volume of new neuro-oncology patients provides excellent opportunity for teaching and research.
