I am in a unique situation at my current program. Circumstances beyond my control have left me without a position during the upcoming year. I will have successfully completed my first-year Radiation Oncology: 6 months Gyn Onc/Peds/Lymphoma/Lung; 3 months Breast/GU; 3 months Head/Neck/GI/CNS. If there is anyone leaving a program or know of a vacancy it would be greatly appreciated.

UT-Southwestern in Dallas is starting a new program and is looking for residents for all PGYs.
 
I believe they already decided/are deciding on their PGY-3's and above.

I am also another PGY-2 resident in Rad Onc looking to switch programs starting at PGY-3 level. UTSW has already filled their PGY-3 spots (apparently those spots went away quickly). I would appreciate if anyone has any suggestions or know of any openings in other programs. Please send me a private message.
 
sorry if its personal, but would you guys mind sharing what the actual problems here are? i mean, rad onc is insanely hard to match into in the first place--i'd hate to think that programs can just squeeze residents out like that and leave people in the lurch with no consequences. 😕 :scared:

residencies are jobs and are constantly evolving. program directors change, other personnel shifts occur, and the dynamic of the work environment shifts accordingly.

the difficulty of matching is of little relevance once you begin your responsibilities as a resident. residencies are hard, period. rad onc is not excluded from that rule.
