Thanks for writing this up and posting.

In the bill there is an ICD 10 for travel hardship and once that is entered into the patient’s chart the patient will be eligible for travel credits, for health equity’s sake (this is in the health equity section of the bill).

Only Astro could try and pull something like this. A whole new stand alone bill requiring passage through congress and a signature of the president that fundamentally changes much about the specialty and affecting everyone that practices. A bill who's full text/details was never even released...

“Supporting shorter treatments for certain cancers, allowing patients more time to work and spend time with loved ones.” Look I’d treat you in 15 fractions but ROCR didn’t pass so it’s going to be 30, sorry.

I remember there being all kinds of typos and some questions that probably had no correct answers back when I took it. My impression was the degree of sloppiness in the exam was incredible.

That Portsmouth OH job has been posted for at least 10 plus years. What is EOCC richmond?

Well Tennessee is closing down at the end of this academic year. Texas A and M has 1 resident enrolled currently out of 8 total positions so they might also be preparing to close down as well (I have no info on the program other then that).

MDACC officially decreased their resident complement by 1 per year via the acgme. Colorado and Cleveland Clinic just said they will take 1 less resident once every four years but technically they are still approved for same number of residents and could fill that spot at any time.

I was actually thinking of putting out a top 5 worst articles in the red journal list post on a yearly basis but never got around to it.

Truly remarkable that in this environment and with potential permanent changes in supervision requirements that there are training programs out there like Mt. Sinai still expanding resident training numbers while none have officially contracted in the past five years except MDACC.

Things can look much better when demand for specialties' services increase rather then constantly decrease.

Maybe rad onc MDs could also get certified in dosimetry as well so we could get in on this double dipping thing.

Every one else in the clinic pay is up 50% or more in past 15 years while the physician's is down over 10%. Well done.
