Is basic science research compatible with a career in academic radiation oncology? I was under the impression that radiation oncologists see patients and at most do clinical research while PhDs in medical physics do the brunt of the hard-core basic science research which tends to advance the field. Also, given that most rad onc programs only allow about 6 months research time, how do residents prepare themselves adequately for basic research activities if they decide to pursue that road in a clinical department?
