I’m currently in my first year of heme/onc fellowship and I’m finding that my interests now are a bit different than when I started.
Coming in, I thought I preferred oncology significantly, but I’m now finding I like heme maybe equally as well. I am also one of those (perhaps unusual?) people who has a significant preference for inpatient work.
I think I’d like to be an oncology hospitalist when I graduate, but I am noticing that a good number of those jobs are primarily for internal medicine trained physicians and don’t require fellowship. Not to mention there aren’t SO many oncology hospitalist positions available regardless of training.
Are there any heme/onc hospitalists here that could tell me where they work and how they found their job? Could doing fellowship actually worsen my prospects of finding a hospitalist position? How can I best prepare myself for what I want to do?
