Hi everyone,
Current IM resident interested in potentially going on to heme/onc fellowship. I know that onc is by and large an outpatient specialty, but that in academic settings where there are consult/primary onc/BMT/dedicated malignant heme services, you can end up having inpatient service responsibilities as part of your career.
Maybe this will change in time but I find the prospect of having both inpatient/outpatient responsibilities appealing (currently at a very inpatient/critical care heavy program and really enjoy taking care of acutely ill inpatients, may potentially find that hard to give up down the line in favor of a solely outpatient career).
I was wondering if anyone would be able to comment on what inpatient/outpatient splits typically look like for oncologists that practice in both settings (what the day to day looks like, how those weeks of inpatient service feel from an attending perspective, etc).
Thanks!
