Fellowship prepares trainees for practice as independent hematologist/oncologists. Most curricula focus on the clinical aspects of the specialty but do not cover the business of oncology. An understanding of this topic is important for all fellows regardless of their future ambitions. The Georgetown Business of Oncology course seeks to address that deficiency in oncology training by introducing trainees to topics like medical billing, contract negotiation, and practice management. In doing so, we hope to prepare physicians for the real world and allow them to make educated decisions when planning their future endeavors.

1. Identify common revenue models in oncology.
2. Evaluate and negotiate contracts.
3. Create a career plan based on personal goals.
4. Discuss the basics of practice management.
