St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Campuses

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital's main campus in Memphis focuses on advanced pediatric research and treatment programs rather than traditional academic courses. However, it offers specialized educational initiatives for medical professionals, researchers, and students interested in pediatric oncology, hematology, and related fields. These programs emphasize hands-on training in cutting-edge cancer research, genomics, immunology, and infectious diseases affecting children.

• Pediatric Oncology Fellowship: A comprehensive two-year program covering diagnosis, treatment protocols, and clinical trials for childhood cancers, including leukemia and solid tumors. Participants engage in multidisciplinary rounds, research projects, and ethical discussions on patient care.
• Genomics and Precision Medicine Course: Explores genetic sequencing technologies, bioinformatics tools, and personalized therapy development. Lectures and labs teach how to analyze tumor genomes and apply findings to improve survival rates.
• Infectious Diseases Training: Focuses on hospital-acquired infections in immunocompromised children, vaccine development, and antimicrobial stewardship. Includes simulations of outbreak management and global health perspectives.
• Research Ethics and Biostatistics Workshop: A series of sessions on responsible conduct in research, data analysis using statistical software, and grant writing for pediatric studies.
• Nursing Education in Pediatric Care: Specialized modules for nurses on pain management, chemotherapy administration, psychosocial support, and family-centered care models.
• Global Health Outreach Program: Virtual and in-person courses on international collaborations, resource-limited settings, and exporting St. Jude protocols to low-income countries.

These offerings integrate classroom learning with practical experience in St. Jude's state-of-the-art facilities, including the Advanced Treatment Center and research labs. The curriculum is designed to foster innovation, with over 300 words dedicated to detailing how participants contribute to the hospital's mission of advancing cures and means of prevention for pediatric catastrophic diseases. Emphasis is placed on collaborative, evidence-based approaches, ensuring graduates are equipped to lead in pediatric medicine worldwide. Annual enrollment includes fellows from top medical schools, with a focus on diversity and inclusion in healthcare education.
