Oncology Joins Bayhealth’s GME Program

As part of Bayhealth’s overall graduate medical education (GME) program, Oncology Services will be participating in the Internal Medicine Residency Program, which earned accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in 2020 and is slated to begin in July 2021. More specifically, Iftekhar Khan, MD, and Rishi Sawhney, MD, have been selected to serve as subspecialty education coordinators for hematology and oncology, respectively, within the Internal Medicine Residency Program.

“Being a part of resident education is very rewarding and very important,” said Dr. Khan. “The residents need the opportunity to learn and grow in an atmosphere that is supportive of the learning process, and we are happy to foster that environment for them.”

As part of the residents’ learning experience in Oncology Services both Dr. Khan and Dr. Sawhney have developed a curriculum that will allow each resident to expand their knowledge and start learning how to care for Oncology patients.

“Oncology is excited to be a part of the Internal Medicine rotation,” said Dr. Sawhney.

“The residents need the opportunity to learn and grow in an atmosphere that is supportive of the learning process, and we are happy to foster that environment for them.”
