"Overemphasis of Step 1 Scores May Impact Application Pool Diversity in Radiation Oncology "The naivety of some on this board... it’s like they look at the Doximity data, conclude medoncs are making $260k and it makes them feel better about choosing a field that’s self immolating.
Literally the best case scenario for this field. In the near future any American grad with a step 1 above 220 will feel embarrassed to match into radonc.
They’re already laying the ground work for it...

Radonc 2019: Selecting by step 1 scores is actually bad!
I saw that. How truly ironic. It's like a combination of quotas, "The Bell Curve," and some weird gene pool allusion (they coulda left "pool" outta the title, kind of a loaded word).
