Not long after the Highlands Oncology was formed by Drs. Thaddeus Beck, Daniel Bradford, and Malcolm Hayward, Dr. Patrick Travis joined the team. Having graduated from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences at Little Rock with a Doctor of Medicine degree in 1990, Dr. Travis completed a residency in internal medicine at the University Hospital, followed by two fellowships in hematology/oncology at University Hospital and the Arkansas Cancer Research Center in Little Rock from 1990-1996. He has also maintained an assistant professorship from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences since 1998. He is board certified in medical oncology from the American Board of Internal Medicine. From 1996 through 2005, he directed the Stem Cell Transplant Department at Highlands Oncology and has extensive stem cell transplant experience. He is also a member of several national and local medical organizations like the Southwest Oncology Group, American Medical Association, American Society of Clinical Oncology, and the International Society for Cellular Therapy. Dr. Travis takes the challenges that cancer can sometimes create and does everything possible to make sure his patients get the best treatments possible.
