Hematology/Oncology Interest Group (HemOncIG)
Hematology/Oncology Interest Group
The SSOM's Hematology/Oncology Interest Group (HemOncIG) aims to provide students with exposure to the field that primarily deals with the medical/pharmacologic treatment of cancer and blood dyscrasias. Through interactions with LUHS physicians, researchers, and patients, the HemOncIG strives to equip students with the information and insight needed to pursue a career in Hematology/Oncology. The HemOncIG is graciously supported by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO).
Events
The HemOncIG is actively involved in organizing informative events and facilitating shadowing/research experiences. Planned events include:
- A multidisciplinary panel of LUHS oncologists
- Journal clubs focused on advances in cancer care
- Discussions led by cancer patients sharing their experiences
- Opportunities to attend Tumor Boards
- Compilation of oncology-centered research opportunities
