COVID-19 has disrupted medical practice and education, but has also led to advancements in the field. A local group of researchers united to investigate the impact of the pandemic on pediatric hematology oncology and established a virtual symposium. They found that current education, mentoring, and career expectations are not in line with the needs of current trainees.
COVID-19 has upended medical practice and education, but has also catalyzed enhancements in the field. Early on, a local group of researchers united to investigate the impact of the pandemic on pediatric hematology oncology (PHO). From this group, a regional educational series was established, virtual-Symposium of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology of New York (v-SYMPHONY). The implementation of these endeavors while PHO fellowship applications are declining has highlighted our perceptions that education, mentoring, and career expectations are not keeping up with the needs of current trainees. We describe our regional experience joining together to further education and research, and reflect on the current landscape of PHO training and workforce.
