Sometimes it's transferring. Sometimes people *gulp* actually drop out of rad onc residency.

What is likely more rampant than "transferring" is the number of programs that continue to expand spots as well as new programs that come into existence

Apply for the ACRO Resident Heidelberg Ion Therapy (HIT) International Away Elective

The American College of Radiation Oncology (ACRO) in collaboration with Heidelberg University Hospital, Heidelberg Ion Therapy Center (HIT), and the ACRO Resident Committee are pleased to offer a unique opportunity for a 1-month international elective rotation at the Heidelberg Ion Therapy center in Heidelberg, Germany.

In an era of global development in radiation oncology it is beneficial residents gain exposure to the practice of oncology in the international realm. Experience with unique healthcare systems, patient populations, and treatment modalities broaden a resident’s understanding of the universal underlying themes in the care of the oncologic patient. Moreover, as proton therapy becomes more common in the United States it is important for graduating US radiation oncology residents to gain experience with this unique radiotherapeutic modality.

Heidelberg University Hospital has long been a leader in advancements in clinical, physics, and radiobiological research. The HIT itself is a world class ion therapy center originally opened in 2009 that is one of very few centers in the world treating patients with both proton and carbon therapy. The HIT treats a diverse group of patients from Germany, elsewhere in Europe, and around the world. These patients often arrive at the HIT with radioresistant tumor histologies, locally advanced tumors, and/or tumors adjacent to radiosensitive critical structures in the CNS, head & neck, and pelvis. Additionally, a large cohort of pediatric patients is treated at HIT with a variety of rare malignancies.

This rotation is an excellent opportunity to gain familiarity with proton/carbon treatment, complex and rare tumors/sites, and a distinctive healthcare system outside of the United States. In an effort to broaden awareness of radiation oncology practice abroad and the delivery of ion therapy, the ACRO Board of Chancellors and supporters of the College have appropriated funds to subsidize an international elective at the Heidelberg Ion Therapy center in Germany.

Please see attachment for further details. Submissions must be sent no later than 11:59 PM January 31, 2016. Submissions will be assessed and scholarships will be awarded by members of the ACRO Resident Committee with input from the Board of Chancellors as needed.

This inpatient service allows for the Fellow to experience and manage patients in an intensive hospital-based setting at an eminent cancer center.

In the advanced technology service, the Fellow will be able to obtain mastery of multiple stereotactic and intra-operative platforms including Gamma Knife radiosurgery (SRS), Linac-based VMAT ARC Therapy with CBCT image-guidance (Truebeam), Intra-operative radiation therapy (Intrabeam), and Siemens Dual-Energy CT scanner (to minimize implant hardware artifact). The Gamma Knife experience includes metastatic and benign brain tumors as well as functional and vascular brain disorders. The intra-operative (IORT) training will be focused on the incorporation of IORT treatment in the management of breast, pelvis and gynecological, head & neck, and liver cancers. The stereotactic clinical training will be focused on the application of SRS/SBRT to treat malignant and benign tumors of the brain, base of skull, lung, spine, pancreas, liver, prostate, and other pelvic malignancies.

Applicants must be graduating residents from an ACGME-accredited residency in Radiation Oncology. This one-year program will start August 1, however the starting 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 provided they have a valid US medical license or ECFMG certification and at least one year of clinical training in the United States.

Have to say I've never seen a fellowship brag about providing "experience" in inpatient palliative care. I guess maybe there are some out there who didn't get enough residency experience to know when to do 37.5/15, 30/10, 20/5 or 8/1. Now they have a fellowship to bring them up to speed lol.

And, honestly, is there any "radiation modality" that's appropriate for an inpatient outside of AP/PA or parallel opposed laterals? Nothing will piss off your therapists more than trying to do some fancy multi field imrt on a lung patient that can't even lay flat for 5 mins because of coughing and hemoptysis

But just when we all know there are too many residents it decides to expand. I guess the department needed more cheap labor.

Well, if Arkansas can create a new residency (I think they posted looking for a PD for a planned residency program), Emory probably feels fine expanding too.

Unbelievable. Literally every other specialty's fellowships add value and skills except rad onc's.

Is anyone on this forum privy to their institution's internal discussions about why they offer these fellowships?

We don't have to be. It's the same reason all the expansions have occurred. Want for cheap labor.

Straight up heard they were a resident short and needed to make a hire for attending coverage. Oh and also to further their academic mission etc.

These "leaders" are trying to create discussions as if they are the solution when they are in fact the problem. The people in the ivory tower will never be part of the solution. o_O
 
What I love even more in this fellowship growth trend are all the mid pack places (and there are many) who are advertising fellowship positions as if they had anything at all to offer beyond a 4 year residency.

Maybe the job market woes are finally impacting competitiveness of the specialty...

Could be even worse though, programs are opening/expanding faster than people are trying to get in :eek:

Dude, when we were applying, openings like these were pretty rare. I think you're right. Sad to see, this remains the best specialty in medicine to practice IMO. But we are our own worst enemies with these expansions.
 
Medical students are pretty smart they'll catch on how our specialty is ****ing ourselves proper and will slowly start to stay away.

Good news for those worried about the dire shortage of radiation oncology residency programs in the northeast, looks like Penn State is starting up a department: Founding Chair, Department of Radiation Oncology job with Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center | 7596971

Penn State has had a radiation oncology division for a while and they are now looking to hire a new chair as they are converting their division to a department. But your point regarding the tightening radiation oncology job market is well-taken. :)
