Sickle Cell Disease Away Elective Rotation
The ASH Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) Away Elective Rotation allows select fellowship programs to serve as host institutions for an away elective rotation in areas with higher patients with SCD populations.
The ASH SCD Away Elective Rotation gives fellows the opportunity to gain practical experience in treating patients with sickle cell disease. This rotation is specifically focused on sickle cell disease care for adults and is designed to be an immersive experience in both outpatient and inpatient SCD care. The Rotation lasts one month and occur in September 2024 to June 2025. The host institution embeds the rotating fellow into their existing SCD program and fosters engagement with physicians, advanced practice providers (APPs), social workers/care coordinators, mental health providers, and patients with SCD.
Four institutions will host one fellow each. The host institutions are:
- Duke University, Durham, North Carolina
- Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland
- University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
- National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, Bethesda, Maryland
Eligibility
First and second year fellows may apply for the rotation. The rotation will occur in the fellow’s 2nd and 3rd year.
