After 4 years in Columbus, OH, completing hematology, oncology, and bone marrow transplantation fellowships, he and his family were drawn back to the beauty of the Wasatch Front, and he joined the Division of Hematology to continue his career as a clinical trialist focused on the treatment of patients with hematologic malignancies.

“AUC provided me the incredible opportunity to live out my dream of being a physician. The friendships and lessons learned during my time on the island are irreplaceable and provided me a strong foundation for a career in malignant hematology.” - Dr. Douglas Sborov
