Did everyone else get the email today from MSK's transitional year program director encouraging them to apply? Sounds like a pretty interesting program with obviously lots of onc exposure. Anyone in the forum a graduate of the program with good/bad things to say about it?

well, I got the email too. Oddly enough, I did apply to the program but got the email "encouraging me to apply" anyways. Makes me think that the rad-onc side just forwarded the medicine folks a list of applicants, but they neglected to look at who actually applied already.

Ive heard from a few past residents of the program. They told me its good training, very onc focused, but hard work. Plus location in NYC relegates you to living in a modified closet. With 24 mos of wards, its certainly not the cush TY many are hoping for.

i assume you meant 24 weeks of medicine wards...

with 4 months of electives (plus 1 month vacation), it sounds pretty nice to me. may not be as cush as other TY programs, but much better than a lot of academic IM programs. plus, no ICU or night float months....



from the website:

Has the MSK TY program made offers yet? I never got the one email encouraging me to apply here (although I did anyway). Maybe they only encouraged people who the MSK RadOnc program was seriously considering.

i received the TY advertisement, but as of this writing no radonc decision from memorial. a year in NYC sounds fun, but i think there are better TYs out there.

So just received the TY Invite from MSK but no word from the RO Dept. Seems like they're completely disconnected.
