Specializes in Pediatric Hematology and Oncology

Same: Unlike internal medicine physicians who have separate training pathways and board certifications for hematology and oncology, in pediatrics it is one training program and one board certification. Although pediatric hematologist-oncologists are trained in both, some specialize in one or the other.
