Look at these people. Trying to question Wallner's authority and what not.

Randall from the University of Kentucky wrote that he thought he got canceled. Potters wrote that since rad onc now has substantially lower standards the field can start recruiting women and minorities.How is Louis Potters on this panel? I thought in his article he wrote that he was cancelled?

"[There's this perception that] now that there's no interest in RadOnc, this is now an opportunity for Black physicians, Hispanic physicians, women physicians..."
Used words “quality” and “adds value” a lot.Well that was illuminating, unfortunately Potters channeled Marcus Randall pretty well there for awhile. Boomers chairs gonna keeping booming
BK mentioned he's a sailor also... Must have a nice yachtLP is a multimillionaire, making almost 2mil a year apparently, living in the most competitive market in the US and saying "job market is fine, I had a tough job market too." while being in a leadership position telling 1000 bunnies who will never have close to the opportunities he has this. This is either funny or sad. Kind of gives me a sad feeling though. Wonder what his opinion would be if he was coming out of bunny boot camp soon with the current trend.
Yes, same link from the live feed:Is there a recording of this?
Close second were 1) “let’s not worry about fractions and get back to treating patients” 2) trash about exposing more medstudents to radonc to drum up interest (and the amazing work Dan Golden has done) because fear of physics is the real issue.The lamest moment of night was the moment when Potters went on about the need for internet posters to be non-anonymous. And I know lame!

YES! Dr. Pinnix vocalized very eloquently what we have hinted at on here.
Truly POWERFUL
Also, I just want to give a big hug to simul and trevor right now. king moments
And as way know women and urm tend to be more geographically flexible, ...PINNIX FROM THE TOP ROPE

SIMUL THE GREAT WAS ON FIRE!!! Chelain and Trevor too WOOHOO!
Also, I think it is going to be hard to want best candidates + candidate who just wants to take care of patients + elimination of board scores, audition, interviews etc.
Even for myself, I thought "audition interviews" were a waste of time and money. Having to fly around the country to do so many interviews is cost prohibitive and very resource dependent. Research as well, not sure it was a waste of time, because ironically, it taught me that most research is worthless (this is not a trivial thing)!
If you have 2 candidates that are similar, but one did a gap year, did 5 rotations in rad onc all over the country, is published, great step I and loves his patients vs someone who didn't do many of those things due to limited resources, great step I and loves his patients how do we pick the 2nd?
I'm not trying to be funny, as I'm closer to the 2nd person in this example, and was SUPER STRESSED match week, knowing I couldn't afford applying and flying to many interviews.
It's good though these issues are being discussed openly and by the right people.
Apes strong together.Not for nothing, but SDN and all who posted here righteously, venomously, biliously, and humorously the last 8 years were validated in one fell swoop last evening. Congrats you animals.
Apes strong together.
It's hard to hear boomers make point 1 and not be sickened by it. A generation who created the rules and exploited insurance companies now gets to tell young radiation oncologists who are suffering the consequences that they should "get back to treating patients." I hypofrac 90% of my patients, pretty sure my batting average is better than ol' lou's.Close second were 1) “let’s not worry about fractions and get back to treating patients” 2) trash about exposing more medstudents to radonc to drum up interest (and the amazing work Dan Golden has done) because fear of physics is the real issue.
Trevor mentioned this time period during the panel including the fact that spots were trimmed and training extended by a year. No such appetite for change now, just exploit excess grads with unaccredited "fellowships"Red J article by Flynn et al. If it was bad in 1995, it is much worse now...
The employment status of 1995 graduates from radiation oncology training programs in the United States...
