It's not about "teaching" them anything. It's about getting physician RO coverage at a 5 figure labor cost instead of six. At least they are honest about it in the job description
Arms race between there and Jacksonville. I think carbon ions will put Jax over!
Dc/Baltimore : 4 proton centers to 3 in Jax!
Lol, Jax definitely slacking!
If I had to make a movie about radiation oncology I'd call it "Adventures in Babysitting."
Per capita, jax wins by a mile. Honestly does a 1.5m metro area need 3 proton facilities and a forthcoming carbon ion one? If any place needs some APM chemotherapy, Jax is it
| The Stanford Radiation Oncology Fellowship is designed to develop professional competence in the overall care of patients undergoing radiotherapy and to enhance technical skills in a variety of clinical areas depending on the candidate’s clinical interests. Available opportunities include: image guided radiotherapy (IRGT), volumetric arc therapy (VMAT/RapidArc), stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) with cyberknife (CK), intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) and brachytherapy (High Dose Rate). Exciting new additions coming online in 2021 include an MRI Linac (MRIdian) and the first of its kind PET-Linac (Reflexion). Specific clinical disease sites include: GYN, Breast, Lung, GI, GU, CNS, Lymphoma, Head and Neck, Sarcoma and Pediatrics. |
| Applicants must be a graduating resident from an ACGME-accredited residency in Radiation Oncology and must be able to obtain medical licensure in California by the start date. This one-year program will start July 1, 2021, however the start date is negotiable. Applicants from the United States are expected to be board-eligible in radiation oncology at the time they begin the program. Canadian graduates are expected to have passed their qualifying exams from the Royal College. Exceptional international applicants who have completed a radiation oncology residency will be considered if they are able to obtain a valid California medical license. |
I thought this was also known as a residency in radiation oncology.
Stanford has been lambasted here plenty for their "fellowships"/"junior clinical instructor" or whatever they are currently calling the poor sap who has to in the Bay area for 1-2 years while making 100k or less. It's gross. The only reason it exists is because it works. Which is sad.
True but this time you get to dictate notes and do contours for a whole new set of attendings.
SHUT THEM DOWN! SHUT THEM DOWN!
Maybe not, but maybe call them out for it at least?
The only thing him and I ever agreed on! Why did it have to take 2 impeachments?
Stanford been offering suspect fellowships and jr faculty jobs forever. Probably as long as Mayo training programs have been needlessly metastatizing to their satellites
Who may have trained with you at the same time. You can study for boards together- after you finish their dictations and contours of course.
OSU has 3 different unaccredited fellowships now...
Brazen imo

Instructor in Radiation Oncology, Faculty Position in Stanford, CA for Stanford University
Exciting opportunity in Stanford, CA for Stanford University as a Instructor in Radiation Oncolog...
senior faculty got in when it was cheap and probably owns several houses....must be terrible for junior faculties
I was thinking $150k if they are calling you "faculty". It probably buys you that higher quality ramen from the Asian store
I have family member that's on Stanford faculty in another department. As a fellow, he got $600 housing stipend. As faculty, he gets a $800k interest-free "loan" to help with down payment and lower mortgage, because I believe he doesn't need make monthly payments on it. I don't know all the details, but there are some strings attached and not sure if it's all departments or just his. Perhaps they make some money back if the house appreciates and sells? Overall it sounded like a good deal.
Sadly, I am absolutely certain the pay for this particular position is less than $100k.
Pgy 5-6 pay is kissing six figures there already which is still not enough imo for that HCOL.
I’m not in the know for details, but looking at PGY salaries across Stanford, I find this very hard to believe. They approach $100k (including $7000ish tax free housing stipend). Any non rumor based evidence of this?
Admittedly, my knowledge isn't from a signed document on Stanford stationary. I was told a number from what I consider a reputable (non-SDN, real life) source, but would it hold up in a court of law? No. To specify, the salary I was told is less than $100k, but with other benefits I assume it's better than that (health insurance alone would put the total package around at least $130k).
The Canadians have come up with an interesting specialty rad onc fellowship..... Specializing in @$$

Oh yeah... Shamelessly useless fellowship if you're going to be a clinical practitioner but would make for interesting cocktail party talk when people ask what you specialize in

No drug is going to replace nigro or an APR.
There are only about 10 new cases of irradiatable anorectal cancer per rad onc per year. (Just over one new anal cancer per year per rad onc). Getting out of the rad onc business in anorectal won’t be a huge loss for us. Could really ding the Lower GI rad onc fellowships obviously…
I definitely see a few a year at least.... Heck I've got 2 under beam right now.
This math eerily works out in my practice - we have approximately 1 anorectal case on beam per doc right now...which, if that holds true for most of the year, would work out to 10 cases per RadOnc per year.
True, but nigro will be replaced by a vaccine. Only a small percentage of rectal cases require apr. In the setting of a proper tme, the absolute benefit of xrt is quite small- I would guess around 5% vs folfox alone? Aren’t we waiting a trial on this?

If you do a very honest open minded assessment of the effect of XRT in rectal cancer its benefit is… kind of mild. Not that it isn’t helpful, but yes systemics (a broad based definition for sure) seem to be doing a Moore’s Law thing but XRT isn’t.True, but nigro will be replaced by a vaccine. Only a small percentage of rectal cases require apr. In the setting of a proper tme, the absolute benefit of xrt is quite small- I would guess around 5% vs folfox alone? Aren’t we waiting a trial on this?
Edit- Actually 5% is probably an over estimate.
In Dutch tme trial, the absolute benefit was 5% and control arm did not use folfox. Hence, xrt is vulnerable to be eliminated by a future drug that adds a 3-4% benefit in local control? (Assuming folfox hasn’t done this already)
