Oncologist in private practice applying for Heme fellowship

[Shah_Patel_PT]

Any thoughts on an oncology only fellow trained doc in private practice who now wants to apply to heme only fellowship.

Doc wants to also be heme boarded with the changing health care and possibility of insurance companies that may require it. Not interested in research.

Any pros vs cons?

No pros, all cons.

You're not going to lose insurance coverage because you don't have the heme board.

This is an even worse idea than the dude who wants to do a heme only fellowship and then be a transplanter in a small town, despite not liking either malignant or benign heme.

Also, there's no "F*** NO" option in your poll...which is why I didn't vote.

so you already have a job and you want to quit and do a hem only fellowship for two years because of the changing health care ... don't do it

I like benign and malign heme, i wanted to know how the practice is in a small hospital.

I stand humbly corrected. Your plan is still bad...but this one is much worse.

Thanks for your input. I will forget about the idea of heme fellowship.

I am Onc only boarded (research pathway) but see about 20% heme. Nobody cares.
