We are home to one of the largest pediatric cancer and hematology centers in the U.S. Would you be interested in working in this specialty area?

"I knew that Texas Children's Hospital had a large service population for the cancer and hematology center, but I did not realize just how large it is. The number of cancer cases in the United States alone is profound, but I am shocked at how many children are affected. I worked in an adult oncology center for a while and enjoyed what I did. I think a transition to pediatric care would be something I would like to hear more about."

"When I was 21, my dad passed away from lung cancer. It was one of the most trying times of my life. Although I have always wanted a career in healthcare, oncology is not something I have wanted to do, not yet anyway. I would be open to volunteering with patients in that area who need a companion to visit with them. However, I don't know if working with cancer victims daily is something I am quite ready for."
