    Hospitalist vs HemeOnc fellowship

    Sounds like you really don't want to do Heme/Onc. Do yourself a favor and the future program a favor by not applying. Let someone who really wants to do it. Do your hospitalist gig and if you don't like it you can apply next cycle. Getting dumped on gets old after a year or two, even if money is...
