FDA-ASCO Hematology and Oncology Fellows’ Day Workshop
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and ASCO partner to offer a workshop for hematology-oncology and oncology trainees. The workshop is intended to support trainees interested in drug development by providing an introduction to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), clinical trial design, oncology drug regulatory science and the drug/device approval process.
Please view the March 2019 Workshop Agenda for additional details on the workshop programming and format.
Upcoming Workshop Date: November 5, 2019 (U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Silver Spring, MD)
Workshop Eligibility: Hematology and Oncology trainees at U.S.-based institutions who are ASCO members and have completed at least 1-year of hematology or oncology fellowship training. Preference will be given to trainees in their final year of training, as this is their final year of eligibility to participate.
The application deadline for the November 2019 Workshop was Sunday, August 18. No late applications will be accepted.
Selection is based upon FDA staff review and is no longer a “first-come, first-served” lottery system. Applicants can expect to be notified by early September.
