Hi - thank you in advance for reading this.
I am an R1 in Rad Onc at a mid-tier program in a good location. My problem is that I'm very unhappy at my program - to the point where I'm considering leaving . . . I feel somewhat abused on a daily basis and my learning and well-being are suffering.
I like the specialty - the patients, oncology, physics, treatment planning, etc. I enjoy taking care of my patients and try to go above and beyond in terms of patient care. I have an engineering background, so all and all, I think the specialty is a good fit.
I would like to know, what are my options? Is transferring a possibility? Is re-applying via the match an option? If so, should I finish this year or take a leave now? (I would stay until the schedule was worked out of course - no intention of screwing over my co-residents).
I would much appreciate any good ideas or advice. Thank you.
