Hi all,
Hope you are having a nice weekend!
I am currently a PGY1 pharmacy practice resident, and because of my love for students and research, I am 90% sure I want to do academia as a long-term career.
However, I have strong interests in both oncology and cardiology. Considering both are equal, which specialty would you recommend if I want to be in academia later?
The reason I ask is that I noticed many pharmacy schools have faculty members who have done PGY2 cardiology, ambulatory care, internal medicine, etc. However, I have NOT seen many faculty members who have done PGY2 oncology. Typically, they have oncology pharmacy specialists come in from affiliated hospitals to teach, vs having a faculty member that is an oncology specialist.
I would love to hear any thoughts/insight regarding this topic. Thank you so much in advance!
