Gynecologic oncology experience is obtained through the division of gynecologic oncology at Albert Einstein Medical Center and the gynecologic oncology department at Fox Chase Cancer Center.

ALBERT EINSTEIN MEDICAL CENTER

Inpatient and outpatient gynecologic oncology care is provided one day a week by Dr. Charles Dunton, assisted by Dr. David Holtz. Dr. Dunton operates one day a week and has a gynecologic oncology office in the Women's Center. Residents participate in the full range of surgical oncology procedures and the complex pre- and post-operative care of these patients while inpatients in our Women's Care Pavilion and co-manage patients with intensivists when these patients require intensive care. Patients receiving radiation therapy are supervised by our Division of Radiation Oncology. Residents participate in the care and plan follow up of these patients. Patients who receive chemotherapy are cared for in our Cancer Center with Ob/Gyn residents participating in and planing the follow up care of these patients.

FOX CHASE CANCER CENTER

Fox Chase Cancer Center provides additional experience in gynecologic oncology and complex gynecologic surgery in the setting of a hospital devoted to oncology. Fox Chase Cancer Center is a leading cancer center where learning is accomplished in an interdisciplinary model involving gynecologic and surgical oncology, medical oncology, and radiation therapy, as well as social services and supports including hospice and end of life care. Fox Chase Cancer Center does not have a gynecologic residency or fellowship so Einstein residents are the primary residents working with the board certified gynecologic oncologists.  Residents have an opportunity to work with the surgical oncology group in the operating room and with medical and radiation therapy members of the care team.

PGY-3 residents rotate for two 6-week rotations in the gynecologic oncology division, where they participate in the evaluation of oncology patients and the surgical, medical, and radiation therapy of patients referred to the center. Residents also participate in the full range of complex surgical gynecologic procedures that gynecologic oncologists may perform and the associated pre- and post-operative care.
