Med Student Committed to Rad Onc, scared of doom and gloom re: job market

Hi all, I'm a US MD student applying into rad onc in the fall from a top 10 med school. I came to medical school wanting to be a radiation oncologist, largely because of previous experiences with cancer and radiation oncologists earlier in life. When I started med school, I began to hear a lot of doom and gloom about the field, so I literally explored EVERY OTHER type of oncology that existed. Really tried to enjoy heme onc, enjoyed gyn onc for a long time (lots of research in this too) and almost pulled the trigger to apply to ob gyn-->gyn onc but realized rad onc is a much better fit for my goals in life (i.e. many other aspects of ob gyn bore me apart from being able to treat cancer). I feel like I would be the happiest clinically doing rad onc, but I'm scared to death about the predicted collapse of the job market, etc touted on sdn and reddit. I'm seeking advice about how to cope, what people think of rad onc compensation going forward (I will be graduating med school with lots of debt), whether predictions of the job market are true, and what to do.

Thanks.

Hoping to Speak with and Learn from Oncologists (~30 minutes of your time!)

Hi!

My name is Ashley, and I am the co-founder and COO of RestAssured MD, or RA, a cancer care technology company with a mission to support oncologists through innovative tools and resources, optimizing cancer care delivery.

This mission is deeply personal to myself, and my co-founders, Ashley, and James, having all navigated the intricacies of cancer care ourselves.

I am looking to chat with oncologists who are interested in sharing their thoughts on the daily challenges they face in providing patient care, or who are interested in opportunities to collaborate with a growing cancer care startup. If you are looking to collaborate, or simply just share your thoughts on what we are building, I would love to chat with you.

We’re backed by Y Combinator

(W24), CancerX and the Columbia Startup Lab, and would love to hear your thoughts on our vision.

For your convenience, you can schedule a brief 30 minute chat with me through this Calendly link, or if you prefer, please comment and I will be in touch with you to coordinate availabilities. Looking forward to connecting!

Thank you!
Ashley

Hi there, I wanted to ask if there were any contouring tools available for commercial use; for training I mean?

A Research Survey!

Hi everybody!

My name is Jileena Mehta, and I am a senior at BASIS Scottsdale. I am currently in AP Research, for which I am surveying oncologists, oncology nurses, and those who interact with cancer patients on a regular basis to understand their views on aspects related to cancer treatment. The following is the link to my survey: https://goo.gl/forms/2TazoH3g2Vb5oiBl1

The survey asks for no personal information and should only take five to ten minutes to complete. If you have a few minutes, please take the time to complete the survey. If you know any other oncologists/oncology nurses, please forward them this survey. Any and all answers are appreciated!

Thank you!

-Jileena
