Couple years ago I was convinced that it’s because of job market concern but now i’m starting to think that the lack of exposure and medical students knowledge about the field might be the bigger reason for that. I’m not saying the job market concerns aren’t real but here’s some of the offers right now:
-SOMC Portsmouth OH $668k + $90k SB
-Arnot health Elmira NY $600k
-Trinity Waterloo IA $550k + $75k SB
-Jefferson Healthcare port townstead WA $600-800k
-EOCC Richmond VA $650-750k
-St. Peters Health Albany NY $500-540k
-Jonesboro AK $550k
-Phoenix AZ $525k
Sure the locations might night be the best so if anyone is set to live in a big metro areas, rad onc is not the best choice but those salaries combine with the great lifestyle SHOULD attract way more med students. While I’m 100% in favor of residency spot reduction for long term job market, I think educating med students about the field and the potential it has can go a long way short term in increasing the popularity and competitiveness of rad onc.
