Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Fellowship Welcome Letter by Dr. Youngna Lee-Kim
Dear Prospective Fellow:
Welcome to the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Fellowship Program at Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine. We are thrilled to welcome you into our program and community—a place where clinical excellence, scientific discovery, and deep compassion for children and families intersect every day.
You will be joining one of the largest and most comprehensive pediatric hematology-oncology programs in the world. Our division is home to internationally recognized leaders in leukemia and lymphoma, solid tumors, neuro-oncology, stem cell transplantation and cellular therapy, hematology, and survivorship. As a fellow here, you will work alongside exceptional clinicians, researchers, and educators who are committed not only to advancing care—but to mentoring the next generation of leaders in our field.
Over the course of your fellowship, you will manage some of the most complex medical conditions in pediatrics. You will be part of conversations that are difficult but profoundly human. You will also witness resilience, joy, and breakthroughs that remind us why we do this work. And you will grow—not only as a physician, but as a leader, colleague, and advocate.
We are deeply committed to your education, your well-being, and your success. Our goal is not only to train outstanding clinicians and physician-scientists, but also to support you in building a career that reflects your passions and purpose. Whether your path leads to academic medicine, research, global health, advocacy, or beyond—we are equipped to guide and empower you.
Texas Children’s and Baylor College of Medicine offer an unparalleled environment for learning and innovation. But it is our people—fellows, faculty, nurses, researchers, and patients—who make this place extraordinary. We are incredibly proud of the fellows who chose to train with us and the impact they are making in Pediatric Hematology-Oncology around the world.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Texas Children’s Cancer and Hematology Center family and are excited to help you achieve your career aspirations.
Sincerely,
