Director's Welcome

Andrew Matthew Farland, MDIt is my honor to welcome you to the Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Hematology and Oncology fellowship program website. The goal of our program is to train our fellows to be highly skilled specialists who are competent to practice independently and provide excellent care for patients with cancer or hematologic disorders. We strive to teach the necessary research and critical thinking skills to ensure that you build a strong foundation for a career in hematology and medical oncology. Whether your goal is to become a clinical investigator at an academic medical center or work in a community practice, we want you to feel fully prepared to handle any challenge in our exciting and evolving field. 

In our training program, we place an emphasis on people, especially you, as the future of cancer care. Here you will build meaningful and lasting relationships with your patients, your colleagues, and the faculty. We are committed to helping you grow as a clinician, and our diverse curriculum combined with breadth of pathology will help ensure you graduate with confidence to pursue any type of career in hematology and oncology.

It really is a privilege to welcome you to our institution. Constructed in 2014, our state-of-the-art Comprehensive Cancer Center is consistently ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top cancer hospitals in the nation. As one of only 57 NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the United States, we strive to improve the well-being of our communities in North Carolina and surrounding areas. Whether it’s our numerous clinical trials or in-house drug and laboratory developments, our goal is to stand on the cutting edge of cancer care. It is an exciting time to be a part of Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist!
