Hi Dear SDN group

I will be graduating from residency next month and joining a private practice group.
I would like spend my left over educational money on some good resources.
I have all the major textbooks and newly released handbooks in radiation oncology.
What other good educational books (related to oncology or non-medical books focusing on communication & inter-personal skills etc) or resources (video purchases, online subscriptions etc) would you recommend for successful private practice?

Thanks a lot!

Non-ironic answer:
White Coat Investor
4-Hour Body

Keep your finances and body strong/healthy. White Coat Investor should be a must read for every medical student. I got through it in 3 hours. Would have saved me probably 50k had I read it earlier.

I would recommended getting pdfs of all available RT related protocols (RTOG/NRG ect). Much of this stuff is password protected and can be quite useful to consult when evaluating plans and considering normal tissue constraints when you are starting out.
