The "graduates" of the fellowship program during the past 40 years best illustrate the success of our approach to training: 95% are in academic medicine and 61% are doing primarily laboratory or clinical research (or are administering research). Another way to look at the program is to analyze our success at achieving our major objective, which is to train leaders of American hematology and oncology. To evaluate our success in preparing fellows for leadership positions, one must consider the cohort who began training between 1966 and 1992. More recent fellows are still completing their training or are early in their academic careers.

Trainees of the program have a stellar academic record and the vast majority remain in academic Hematology/Oncology positions. For those of our graduates who began the program between 1965 and 1989:

Thus, 83% of the alumni in academic medicine are in positions of prominence. An additional 9 individuals (8%) are Leaders in the Biotechnology/Biopharmaceutical Industry. More than 30% percent of those program alumni who began between 1990 and 2000 are in leadership positions, but many are still young and have not reached their full potential. So far 58 of the 60 graduates remain in academic medicine and a high percentage are pursuing careers in laboratory research. In addition, the percentage of 1990-2000 trainees who have finished their training and been selected as tenure track (Asst Prof or higher) faculty members is 93%. This is very similar to the 1965 – 1989 cohort (88%) and predicts continued academic success of our trainees.

A remarkable number of the graduates of our fellowship program or our other trainees are members of the institutions that guide American medicine and pediatrics and that select their members based on scientific accomplishment. No other pediatric program, in any specialty, has such a record of accomplishment by its alumni.
National Academy of Sciences and/or the Academy's Institute of Medicine - 14 members
American Academy of Arts and Sciences - 6 members
Howard Hughes Medical Institute - 11 members
Association of American Physicians - 32 members
American Pediatric Society - 46 members
American Society of Clinical Investigation - 55 members
Society for Pediatric Research - 75 members
Five alumni have served as President of the American Society of Clinical Investigation and one as Vice President. Five have served as President of the American Society of Hematology. Four have been President of the American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology (Holcombe Grier is this year’s president). Six were awarded the prestigious Dameshek Prize for Research in Hematology, four received the equally prestigious E. Donnall Thomas Prize in Hematology, and 8 received the E. Mead-Johnson Award for Research in Pediatrics. These are the highest awards in each specialty. Two received Ash Mentor Awards which has only been given for three years. Five have won the Young Investigator Award of the Society for Pediatric Research. Four received the Henry M. Stratton Medal in recognition of a distinguished career in American Hematology. Six have received Distinguished Career Award of the American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology. Finally, David Nathan, had received the Howland Award, the highest honor in Pediatrics and Kober Medal, the highest honor in internal medicine.
