After the lecture, she sat down with the residents and proceeded to tell us why she felt women living >100 miles from her center should and would drive to see her, even if there was a center in their town. Why? Because she did breast tangents better than anyone else.

Growing up we were so poor all we could afford was breast tangent.

I doubt that it's only 5% local recurrences. Patients got treated for PSA recurrence likely with ADT early on and noone knows how many actually had a local recurrence or not. Nowadays with PSMA-PET-CT one may be able to pick this up better.
 
Definitely everything we think about local control in prostate cancer is in a different ballgame now with PSMA imaging

Is it time to finally get an Instagram account?

I can't keep track of this. When is the TikTok publication coming out? What about perception of Radiation Oncology on WhatsApp? How prevalent is the use of Signal?

Can I get someone to pay me for sponsored content? Let me find my link to my Patreon account...

Stanford and Harvard are doing the most important rad onc work in the social media space. Hats off to them.

We can argue incessantly over whether we can help people with arthritis with some low dose RT to their knee but when it comes to knowing if we should do SoMe and always be online... LET'S DO IT
 
I like SDN because when I post something, it isn't about me (as most of you don't know or care who I am), it is about the topic that we are debating. I begrudgingly use Twitter when it is absolutely necessary to share research or explain to some aggressively wrong folks why they are wrong, but Instagram?... nah. The more a social media platform seems to be focused on people instead of ideas, the less I want to have anything to do with it.

CMS, considering this data while writing the APM: "Hey guys uh, these bundled payments we did for MedOnc, they're only saving us $297 per episode. I mean, yeah, we can p-hack that to significance, but you know all the things we did to help encourage practices to participate and ease administrative burden? Because of that, we're actually still losing money. I'm getting phone calls day and night from our benefactors at AstraZeneca and Merck. What should we do about Radiation Oncology, and their relatively small sliver of total Oncology spending?"

A job specifically built for NOT new grads. I don't blame you for it, just the reality of our job market at this point.

Better to go be an instructor at U of W or UCSF for a few years before applying?

@evilbooyaa - do you really think all jobs should go to whoever YOU feel should be appropriate for? Why aren't department allowed to pick the candidates that fit the department's needs? Aren’t departments allowed to have preferences? It says our "ideal" candidate. Am I not allowed to have an ideal? It's not your department. Our center can hire whoever we feel makes the most sense, but we can have an idea of what we want.

In addition, we have a few relatively new-ish grads that are excellent. I am open to all. Please apply!

Dude you can put up a job ad for "must have 3yrs experience and be proficient in brachy, SBRT, and washing windows" and you'll get a ton of applicants nowadays

I don't blame you or your company/employer for taking this stance. I get it. It's a good time to be an employer of Radiation Oncologists.

You guys are going to get 100+ applications and will likely be able to immediately filter out all of those who are less than 3 years out of practice. These are all good things for your practice as you get closest to your ideal candidate.

I have no animosity towards your department for having ideal candidates like this.

All I'm saying is that, anecdotally, 2-4 years ago it was quite rare to see this in a public job posting. Not that it never happened.
It is just a reality of the job market at this point. Like now, when we have people saying the job market is totally fine, I'd point to this and other examples that suggest that, for new grads, the % of posted jobs that are available to new grads is lower than it was 4 years ago.

That's it.

In past w/ private practices, new grads were desirable because you could pay them less. Now that employers are increasingly hospitals, salary is no longer paid out of another radoncs pocket, so may as well get someone with experience.

That is definitely a part of it. The "band" of salaries across experience levels is pretty tight (from my experience, at least).
