Social Clinical Research Specialist - Journey

The Division of Hematology/Oncology has a legacy of excellence in care and specialized expertise. It is a regional resource for eastern North Carolina and has assisted in the development of cancer programs in several outlying hospitals. Because of the complexity of these diseases and the rapid development of new therapies, multidisciplinary disease-oriented care is our model. We offer specialized programs in breast cancer, aerodigestive tract malignancy, melanoma, urologic malignancies, hematologic malignancies, benign hematology, and hemostasis. We educate and train new oncologists to be oncology thinkers and not just doers. We are a beacon of the best cancer care and treatment across Eastern North Carolina.
