Ok, I am confused about what I need to do to become a pediatric oncologist.
I will have to complete a 3 year residency in pediatrics, but after that where do I learn the onocology part? Every medical school I have talked to says they don't offer a pediatric oncology fellowship. One said "we don't have fellowships we are ...based" I didn't know what he meant and we had to move on. Is there anyone that can explain this to me? Is there any where I can learn what my career choice will entail, how long it will be, cost, salary etc.....?
I know there is a site you can visit that talks about residency and fellowships but it doesn't answer the questions I have.
Any help would be appriecated.
Thanks
Amy
