The program in Pediatric Neuro-Oncology offers a one year fellowship in clinical Pediatric neuro-oncology. The aim of the Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Fellowship is to train the fellow to effectively evaluate and manage children and young adults with benign and malignant tumors of the central nervous system (CNS). Given the inherent multidisciplinary nature of the subspecialty, the training will include key areas related to neuro-oncology, including neurosurgery, neuropathology, neuroradiology, nuclear medicine, radiation oncology and neuropsychology.
