Where do I see myself in 10 years? Currently undecided between private practice and academia. Probably a hybrid position would make sense. I am also interested in doing an advanced fellowship after the end of my core hematology/oncology fellowship training.

Michael Lunski, MD

Medical School: St. George’s University School of Medicine
Residency: Carilion Clinic-Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine Program
Clinical and Research Interests: I have clinical interests in both oncology and hematology, specifically pancreatic and upper GI tumors as well as the field of malignant hematology and transplant medicine. Currently involved in research in multiple myeloma and have previously been involved in laboratory research with glioblastoma cancer stem cells.
Personal Interests: Continuing world traveling adventures with my wife, golfing, exploring New Orleans further and enjoying time with family and friends in both Pennsylvania and Florida.

What I like the most about my program: There are many great aspects of our program though the best part is the camaraderie between the fellows. Everyone gets along and can bounce ideas off each other and help one another when needed. The program is ever changing and hears out any complaints that we have and acts diligently to attempt to change policies if needed. The attending physicians are not only well educated but easy to talk to and include us in all decision making processes. The unique part of our fellowship is that you get your own patient panel you are responsible for, which prepares you for the real world.
