Rad Onc Health Care Disparities

Members do not see this ad.

Are there any residencies or professors at rad onc departments which would like there residents to focus on health care disparities research. I ask because I think this is a serious issue for at risk populations and rad onc is a hard science research driven field. I love the science aspects but I wonder if there are any programs that also are interested in students doing health policy or disparities research.

Thanks

there are many.

2 that come to mind are Mack Roach (UCSF) and Dwight Heron (U. Pitt)

Carlos Perez just gave a lecture at ACRO that discussed this issue as well, particularly looking at disadvantaged women and breast cancer.
