In mid-March, to minimize the risk of asymptomatic carrier spread of infection to patients and preserve the workforce for potential inpatient redeployment, medical oncology fellows were asked to refrain from direct patient care in outpatient clinics and instead work remotely from home. With fewer cancer-directed treatments given, many may also feel that optimizing strategies to ensure patient and medical staff safety during this crisis should be prioritized over the teaching, education, and professional development of medical oncology fellows. Thus, in weekly clinics, our fellows discuss new cases like our older patient with recently diagnosed melanoma over the phone with attending physicians. Just as the care of the patient with cancer has adapted to these unprecedented times, so must the training of the next generation of oncologists.	./cache/cord-339811-dms0rlmr.txt	./txt/cord-339811-dms0rlmr.txt
