The MUSC Gynecologic Oncology Fellowship is a three-year, ACGME-accredited program designed to train fellows as leaders in surgical, medical, and research-based gynecologic oncology. The program combines 12 months of protected research with 24 months of intensive clinical training, with one fellow accepted each year.
Research & Scholarship: Fellows dedicate the first year to a hypothesis-driven research project under the mentorship of expert faculty. Training includes study design, data analysis, abstract preparation, and manuscript development, with opportunities for national presentations and peer-reviewed publications. Faculty research spans surgical innovation, cancer care delivery, and quality improvement.
Clinical Training: The second and third years provide hands-on experience in the surgical and medical management of gynecologic cancers, including advanced open and minimally invasive procedures, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies. Fellows also gain experience in supportive and palliative care, ensuring a comprehensive, patient-centered approach.
Exceptional Clinical Exposure: MUSC treats 1,100+ new gynecologic oncology patients annually, offering fellows broad exposure to a full range of malignancies. Training occurs in a multidisciplinary environment with radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, and gynecologic pathologists, providing coordinated, evidence-based care for cervical, endometrial, ovarian, uterine, and vulvar cancers.
Cutting-Edge Research Environment: Fellows train at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, South Carolina’s only NCI-designated cancer center, home to 140+ scientists and clinicians and over 200 active clinical trials. With an annual research portfolio exceeding $50 million, Hollings integrates basic, translational, and clinical research to advance cancer care. In 2024, Hollings renewed its NCI Cancer Center Support Grant with its highest evaluation score ever, reflecting leadership in research, innovation, and statewide outreach.
Fellows gain unmatched clinical, research, and leadership training in a program committed to excellence, innovation, and compassionate patient care.
