Qualitative study explores transitions during hematology-oncology fellowship, suggesting tailored interventions may ease challenges.

To understand the transitions in hematology-oncology fellowship training and inform supportive interventions.
Conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 fellows at the University of Colorado via Zoom.
Interviews captured first-year fellows' longitudinal experiences over multiple sessions.
Coded interview data in ATLAS.ti, identifying major themes from fellows' experiences.
Identified three phases: pre-fellowship, active initial transition, and stabilization/plateau.
Fellows experienced anxiety and fear of failure during pre-fellowship.
Work-life balance challenges and cumulative exhaustion characterized the stabilization phase.

McMahon et al. (2025) studied this question.
