Openings in Oncologic Neuroradiology Fellowship - July 1, 2020 - The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center

[nich85]

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center has two openings for an unaccredited Oncologic Neuroradiology fellowship for a July 1, 2020 start. This fellowship is a one-year position for those who are interested in an academic career or additional training in oncologic neuroradiology. This program is available only to those that have completed an ACGME accredited Neuroradiology Fellowship.

Fellows in the program will get comprehensive exposure to a variety of imaging pathology within the brain, spine and head and neck, including neuro-oncological imaging from the James Cancer Hospital, the largest cancer hospital in the Midwest and third largest cancer hospital in the nation. The neuroradiology fellow will have the option to advance his or her knowledge in the field of medical imaging informatics and participate in innovative research in artificial intelligence as part of his or her elective and/or research projects. The Ohio State University AI2 Lab is one of the few laboratories in the country dedicated to leverage machine learning and advanced computer systems to improve patient care and imaging diagnosis.

Please note that all applicants must be a U.S. citizen and must be able to obtain a full and unrestricted license in the State of Ohio prior to starting the fellowship.

For more information, please contact Hannah Nichols via email only at [email protected].

Is this a real thing!?! Make sure to get your full license so you can sign cases like an Attending and get paid like a fellow!

There are many two/second year fellowships in neuroradiology.

Not in this job market.

That is not true. There are actually very few that are still 2 years (MGH and UCSF are the only ones I know of).

If you mean that most ACGME programs only require 1yr for fellowship completion, then you are correct. On the other hand most programs still offer a second year option. i.e. for those interested in academics.

Most second year neurorads fellowship programs are not acgme regulated; if fact, my program has a 2nd option for NeuroIR...i.e. if you like a Q2 lifestyle.

This is the first I have heard of an "oncologic neuroradiology fellowship". Admittedly, I am new to the radiology game. However, I have seen several other "oncologic imaging fellowships" and was wondering if these programs are well-regarded and worth pursing:

Except for neurointervention very few places even offer an optional second year. I know UPenn, Northwestern, and UCLA do. The overwhelming majority of places do not.

lol i suppose i was wrong.

i wouldn't recommend doing a 2 year fellowship. I think that is a holdover from when neurorads needed to learn angio and when exposure to mri was not good in residency.

An oncologic imaging fellowship is ultimately what you make of it. If you don't have a plan in place going in (e.g. you're going to use the free time and contacts at the program to become an expert imager in x, y, z, class of cancers, do research in that area, and then market yourself to academics), then these fellowship are usually a grind year of relatively low-paid recurrence/nodule hunting on follow up imaging., dressed up as "state of the art targeted imaging". It works for the right person, but one can learn much onc imaging as an attending at an academic center for a better salary.

 

[Radology]

yea. Or you could.....

not

Saying you’re willing to read mammo is more marketable than 10 years of neuro fellowship training

 

[Shifty B]

This fellowship offering is odd. I suspect this spot will go unfilled unless there is an interested international graduate who needs an extra year. As an academic neuroradiologist who does a lot of brain tumors, it's still a small part of practice.

I did a two year fellowship, and I will tell you that for the vast majority of people it's unnecessary. The opportunity cost of giving up a full year salary is extremely high.

 

[Clean7795]

I would avoid a 2 yr neurorad fellowship unless it was for NIR (1 yr neurorad, 1 yr NIR).

This fellowship offering is odd. I suspect this spot will go unfilled unless there is an interested international graduate who needs an extra year. As an academic neuroradiologist who does a lot of brain tumors, it's still a small part of practice.

If we assume a $350,000K starting salary for a brand new attending and a Ohio State PGY-7 salary of $65,000 (its really $63,240)...

That's an after tax pay of $227,150 and $51,001 respectively.

Assume you live off of $51,000 for the entire year either way (saving aggressively as an attending and saving 0 as a fellow).

That leaves $176,150 left for the attending.

Assume ALL of that money is invested.

Assume that you get a 6% annual return on your investments.

That becomes $1,060,876 after 30 years using this calculator. Put in 30 years difference between start and end dates, put $176150 for starting investment and 0 for monthly contributions, put 6% for expected annual return.

$1,000,000

Brain tumors aren't that exciting
