I’m currently a PGY-3 in the middle of interviewing for hemonc fellowship. While researching programs, I’ve noticed that a number of graduates from more academically focused institutions pursue careers in “industry” after fellowship.
I have a background in economics and enjoy following the markets, so I’m interested in gaining a clearer understanding of what “industry” really encompasses for heme/onc physicians. My sense is that it may include roles in consulting, pharmaceutical/biotech, or healthcare-focused hedge funds, but I’m not entirely sure.
I’d love to learn more about what these positions actually entail on a day-to-day basis, as well as how they compare in terms of compensation, long-term career trajectory, and overall upside.
