Oncology Vs Surgery

[HEME-ONC]

I am at a crossroads and trying to decide between a IM residency and fellowship in oncology or a five year surgical residency.

I have always loved oncology and dont know the pros and cons of both programs.

Can anyone share some insight on these two career paths for me.

I must say that patient contact is a big thing for me.



thanks
