Job Description Summary

This is a one-year multidisciplinary fellowship training opportunity for individuals interested in advanced training in the diagnosis and management of neurological and musculoskeletal impairments and disabilities associated with various types of cancers and their treatments.

Special skills are developed in the evaluation and treatment of cancer patients and survivors with residual impairments related to their cancer treatments including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and stem cell transplantation, as well as complications related to the cancer itself.

Fellows will also manage non-cancer-related rehabilitation and musculoskeletal issues influencing a patient's quality of life and ability to undergo further cancer treatments.
