The Hem-Onc Fellows Network is committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in hematology-oncology, said Mrs. Andrea Anampa-Guzmán, Dr. Muhammad Salman Faisal, and Dr. Aakash Desai. 

"I think of my fellowship studies as a series of layers—every time I do well at one layer, I am ready to move to the next one," said Dr. Tarek Haykal.

"IMGs should be seen for who they are as doctors and as people, rather than as a visa status, a pedigree, or an application," Dr. Tarek Haykal writes.

July is a time of new beginnings and transitions in academic medicine. As I wrapped up my fellowship, I thought often of the adage: “Comparison is the thief of joy.”

The weeks following the ASCO Annual Meeting are always a time of transition as we synthesize new knowledge. That feeling of flux is heightened this year as the COVID-19 situation evolves.
