Gynecologic Oncology Fellowship

We offer a remarkable experience for our fellows and are looking for candidates who want to grow from that experience into physicians who make a difference in the world.

³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Health is the only academic medical center in lower Alabama and includes Children’s & Women’s Hospital; University Hospital with a Level I trauma, stroke and burn center; and the Mitchell Cancer Institute, a fully academic cancer and research center. Here we serve a remarkably diverse patient base, and we seek fellows with diverse backgrounds interested in health disparities, cancer prevention and/or quality-based research. 

Fellows will receive education and training in patient care, radical surgery, and inpatient and outpatient management of acute gynecologic oncology conditions. This includes training in critical care, radical pelvic surgery and reconstruction, robotic surgery for Gyn cancers, and acute management of medical and surgical emergencies. Didactics include weekly grand rounds, monthly morbidity and mortality conferences, journal club, and weekly didactic presentations resulting in well-trained and well-prepared Gyn oncologists. 

Participation in research and teaching experiences prepares those who are interested in academic medicine. Our funded, dedicated Gynecologic Oncology Basic and Translational Research Laboratory embedded in the division sets us apart from many other programs in terms of depth of research and prolific publication activity. 

Our fellows have the opportunity to work directly with an array of sub-specialty experts and will benefit from close contact with faculty who provide both clinical supervision and expertise, as well as rewarding mentorship. We see a high volume of Gyn oncology patients, many of them high acuity. Our service area includes some of the sickest and most disenfranchised patients in the developed world, an issue we work diligently to alleviate.

Fellowship is not all about work, and we pride ourselves on building friendships within the large University of South Alabama family. Mobile is a wonderful place to live with many cultural and recreational opportunities that provide a wide variety of activities. It’s a port city full of arts, sports, universities, festivities and beach access. Mobile prides itself on being the birthplace of Mardi Gras in the U.S. 

After enjoying three years of training in Mobile, you can leave our fellowship program ready to serve patients anywhere in the world, whether you choose a sophisticated urban environment or work in a low-resource setting. 

While fellows work closely with attending staff, they govern many aspects of the program as they set schedules, select research projects, and choose elective rotations, all while developing their leadership skills. We are always looking for new initiatives and programs to make the lives of our fellows and our patients better and more fulfilling.

We invite you to consider becoming part of the ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Health team.
