Hi all,
I am a first year who is 90% sure I am going into rad onc. I knew i wanted to do cancer but had to decide between med onc and rad onc. This quater, I spend about 2-3 afternoons a week in our rad onc department working with the attendings and residents. I feel like for now at least, I have a good enough grasp of the specialty to make a decision.
I want to be able to do a quick study ( I have till june) that will yield a pulication or at least a poster. Can any body tell me where I can begin searching for ideas? I can of course search pubmed but i guess what I am asking is I see in the match thread that there are people who discover rad onc late and they are still able to get a pub or abtract or poster.
So what i want to know is what kind of studies are they doing and can a first year med student do them? That way I can narrow my search to such studies to begin to think up ideas of my own. I only have a couple of afternoons free and I already signed up for a basic science cancer project for the summer. If I can come with a good idea, the residents and attendings I work with will be happy to help me with it. Thank you all.
