Residency, Fellowship, and Medical Student Positions

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
That's going to be a great program... Very good faculty, beautiful center, protons, peds, and Mayo infrastructure. The suit will be tough in the summer. But, some unmatched person is gonna get lucky like a barfly at closing time.

Hi everyone,

The old ARRO fellowship list seems to have disappeared (and was quite out of date). In order to compile a more up to date list of fellowships available across the US and other countries, I have started a fellowship list page on the rad onc wiki. If anyone has any to add to the list, please either update the wiki page, or PM or email me and I will add it for you (debenham at ualberta dot ca).

EDIT: Here is the link to the wiki: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Radiation_Oncology/Fellowships

Hi,

I am a FMG completed my Radiation Oncology Residency from home country, currently doing fellowship in Radiation Oncology from NY. I am a permanent resident and not require Visa

If there is any residency position available please let me know.

Thanks
 
Sure this is not the thread that applicants want to see now, but if anyone is interested in a 2 year post-doctoral fellowship opportunity in cancer medicine, the University of Wisconsin program is currently accepting applications for fellows starting July 2014.
This program has been used by individuals as a post-medical school, pre-residency training opportunity. Feel free to contact me if you have questions or interest.

The Stanford University Radiation Oncology residency program has an immediate available position for a PGY-3 resident beginning July 1, 2014. This program, which received 10-year accreditation by the ACGME in 2013, is approved for 15 residents.


Stanford Hospital, located in Palo Alto, CA, was built in 1959 with 613 licensed beds, 49 operating rooms, a medical staff of 2,116, and house staff of 1,152 residents and interns. Located immediately adjacent is Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital, a 311-bed hospital with 958 medical staff.


The department at Stanford University has a long and rich history in the field of radiation oncology. Founded by Henry Kaplan, Stanford has played a leading role in the development of radiation therapy for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, prostate cancer, pediatric tumors, and many others. Technology has been a prominent theme throughout its history, from the first linear accelerator in the Western Hemisphere developed at Stanford in 1956, to the CyberKnife developed in the early 1990s, to our current treatment machines including the Varian TrueBeam.


Residents will enjoy a broad experience of clinical radiation oncology and get abundant exposure to advanced radiation therapy techniques including intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), and stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), as well as HDR brachytherapy. Residents may also participate in a wide range of research opportunities in translational and basic science, physics and dosimetry, or clinical radiation oncology.


Interested applicants who are US citizens or permanent visa holders (we do not support H1b visas) should send the following to [email protected] for initiating their application:


1) Curriculum vitae
2) Cover Letter/Personal statement

Acceptance will be contingent upon verification of credentials with the following items:

1) Medical school transcripts and diploma
2) Dean’s letter from medical school
3) USMLE transcripts for Step 1, 2 (CK and CS), and 3 (if available)

I've never heard of such a thing. Has any other program done that? Taking a resident without them being a resident basically.
 
I've never heard of such a thing. Has any other program done that? Taking a resident without them being a resident basically.

Dermatology programs do it all the time. And they're not a resident and will not get any board certification after their "fellowship" year. It's best to do research at a good program as opposed to University of Mississippi. It's a title that can potentially lead to nothing, (just like an MD from a Caribbean school).

Hey Everyone!
Good luck this week!
If you don't match in rad onc this year, I wanted to remind you about the opportunity at the University of Mississippi Medical Center to participate in a 'fellow' year in the department of radiation oncology. You do everything a resident does and it's a great way to get hands-on radiation oncology experience. Many of our fellows matriculate into one of the department's open residency spots after the fellow year is completed. Just a heads up!
Email our program director's admin at [email protected] if you or another M4/Intern are interested.

This is out of control. Do you really think we need more training spots?

I assumed from the wording that it's more that someone who had already matched and was beginning to start PGY-2 in a few months (i.e., someone who matched last year and is an intern now) won't be starting for whatever reason. Not a new spot.

I guess I thought they were already approved for 12? It's been a long week and I have a lot of patients on treatment...that's my excuse if I'm wrong!
 
Pretty awesome if you're a person that went unmatched last year for that spot to open up though I'm sure many of them have already taken other open spots by now. Someone is getting lucky with this.
 
If they take a current PGY1 that's supposed to start in another program in July, that will start a cascade of opening spots.

I've seen these open spots happen a lot, but it's not often that one the caliber of Duke opens up this late in the year.

I've seen these open spots happen a lot, but it's not often that one the caliber of Duke opens up this late in the year.

My understanding was that someone who was already committed to a PGY2 spot couldn't take something like this - wouldn't they be breaking their match obligation for next year? You would have to be a current intern with no obligation for next year?
 
Officially yes, you should be committed to your program for all 4 years, but it happens every year that people transfer programs. It varies by case whether you burn a bridge with your program or the program lets you go.

In many cases, the home program eventually releases their person, but they're not happy about it.

It happens more often with people transferring to start their PGY3 or 4 year, but it does happen with PGY2 also.


I would guess that someone at a program less 'prestigious' than Duke is going to grab this chance to move up. It's a major headache and you're going to piss people off, but if you're motivated, it's a good opportunity.
 
I don't really understand how all these spots are opening up? Especially PGY4 positions (maryland) and UCLA
 
I don't really understand how all these spots are opening up? Especially PGY4 positions (maryland) and UCLA

What is not to understand? Programs request a resident expansion from ACGME who then determines if their clinical volume and educational infrastructure necessitates additional resident(s). If they are approved then they can add residents. Obviously, you don't want to front load your program with 10 PGY-2 residents so you distribute them across all years.

Your question may be referencing: Who is deciding to saturate our field with so many Rad Oncs?

The answer is that nobody has claimed responsibility for doing such a thing so programs will keep adding more and more residents until the job market undergoes what the guys on Wall Street call a 'self-correction' (aka. crash).

The University of Mississippi Medical Center is offering a one-year salaried clinical fellowship position in the Department of Radiation Oncology from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. Applicants should have a medical degree and be able to obtain a Mississippi medical license by start date. Fellowship responsibilities include patient care and research. This position is ideal for applicants taking a gap year after medical school or for those interested in gaining exposure to the field of Radiation Oncology before applying for a residency position.

Questions can be directed to Dr. Vijayakumar, Department Chairman: [email protected]
 
Posted thrice over the past five months? I do recall UMMCRO being in the match this year for a bit then suddenly surreptitiously dropping out. Will you guys be returning the money you got from applicants who applied (a percentage of the application fee) or is that money already committed to the "fellowship" (i.e. a resident that is not really a resident)?

Agreed
 
FWIW residency programs don't get any reimbursements or payments from ERAS. Not that that fact changes an applicant's frustration in applying to a program that isn't accepting applicants ( probably reflecting poor organization of program rather than nefarious intentions ).
