Curriculum & Didactics for the Gynecologic Oncology Fellowship
Tthe American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) website defines our curriculum.
The first year of fellowship consists primarily of research. The KU Cancer Center is active in federally funded research as well as clinical trials in ovarian cancer research. Expert research mentors are available from most basic science programs as well as clinical trials. The work during the research year typically serves as your thesis for your certifying ABOG examination in gynecologic oncology.
The final two years are spent in clinical training including advanced gynecologic oncology surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. One thing that sets our program apart is our two month off-service rotation dedicated to palliative care. As well we offer multiple Phase I clinical trial outpatient rotations with our faculty.
