Education & Training

Learn from some of the best oncology experts in the world

At IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center, we’re not exaggerating when we say we’re national and international leaders in cancer care—and we’ll help you build a training path that puts your career on the same influential trajectory.

In the lab, you’ll conduct investigations on pilot projects, landmark studies, and life-changing clinical trials. You’ll publish and present findings. You’ll collaborate with our research partners across the country.

In our hospitals and clinics, you’ll meet patients with every kind of hematologic and oncology disease, and you’ll design treatment plans using therapies developed right here at IU.

There’s no other oncology education like it. Take a look.

“They haven’t changed the lock on my door, so I keep coming to work every day. There’s not a field in medicine that’s more rewarding than oncology.”

The work of research is not easy. It takes passion, sacrifice, persistence in the face of failure, and the ability to work today for a future we can only envision.
