2013 Update from Dr. Ritchey
A. Kim Ritchey, MD Vice Chair of Clinical Affairs |
Thank you for visiting the Hematology/Oncology/ BMT Fellowship portion of the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC website. As division chief for the past 14 years, I look forward to sharing information with you regarding our program that provides excellent training and mentorship in clinical care and research for the next generation of leaders in the field.
It is an exciting time within the Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology. In December 2012 I transitioned from division chief into my new role as vice chair of Clinical Affairs for Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. I also currently serve as president of the American Society of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology (ASPHO). Although taking on these newer roles, I will remain an active member of the Hematology/Oncology Division in clinical care, fellow mentorship, and the ongoing mission of excellence within the division.
In addition, we are joined by a new division chief – Dr. Linda McAllister-Lucas. She comes to us from the University of Michigan School of Medicine. She is recognized as a dedicated mentor, gifted teacher and talented researcher, successfully competing for NIH funding as well as awards from other funding agencies and foundations. In a paper published in Science last year, her work provided new insights into the molecular basis of lymphoproliferative disease and led to the identification of new potential therapeutic targets.
Children’s Hospital provides a broad and balanced clinical care experience. Additionally we are proud to provide excellent and diverse mentorship in clinical research, including master’s level training, as well as basic laboratory experiences throughout Children’s Hospital and the broader UPMC community.
Our fellowship program is rooted in a strong, collaborative relationship among our fellowship program leadership, the faculty, and fellows. Our prior fellows are emblematic of the type of outstanding clinicians, researchers, and leaders who train at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. A list of former fellows, including current positions and research interests, is also included on this website for your review. With the arrival of Dr. McAllister there is new energy and excitement that can only translate into an even greater fellowship experience. Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have questions about the program.
