The is a unique fellowship training program to mentor physician-scientists expert at the bench and bedside in cancer genetics and will be designated the Ambrose Monell Cancer Genomic Medicine Fellow. One strength in this physician-scientist training program is the availability of a large cohort of patients with germline PTEN patients and families, available for research, and members of PTEN multidisciplinary care. If the successful fellow chooses, they can elect to pursue a PhD under our PRISM program. Depending on election for PRISM, fellows spend 2-4 years in this physician-scientist training. A typical Monell fellow would have completed a residency (in one of a number of specialties) and many would have completed a fellowship (typically in an oncology fellowship).
