They gain extensive experience in the diagnosis of malignant melanoma and the management of patients with this disease. In addition, they are exposed to clinical trials using novel treatments such as vaccines for patients with melanoma. They also gain exposure to the management of patients with cutaneous lymphoma. The fellows are an integral member of the multi-disciplinary team of physicians from a variety of specialties including dermatology, dermatopathology, ENT, medical and surgical oncology and psychology that assist in the care of patients with melanoma.
