I think in the current climate, programs closing or contracting is a win nationally.
Classic Tragedy of the Commons. Residents and fellows are cheap labor. Some will hope to settle in southern Florida to practice. Not that complicated.
Agree. What happened to Cornell/presby and Drexel, Howard in the past iirc
It's closed dude. I don't think ACGME made the decision.
What are the poly market odds for Ron D?
I have another one for you!
This is the answer.
There won't be any
Conglomerates are people too.Let's see if Miami can handle that they are making me real sad. Surely large conglomerates have feelings.
Anecdotally, these lists seemed to coincide with dei types. Maybe one freebie begets another?
Well this is just not fair to us in the functional space!
Still curious, what does dei type mean? And what freebie?
Wasn’t there an ASTRO keynote by a DEI type who likes freebies (freebie affinity ostensibly evidenced by accepting an ASTRO keynote invite)
Presumably, that's called getting paid for giving a speech. Not a freebie...also pretty normal.
I think I saw someone from Varian give him a Lichtenberg figure
ASTRO from 2020-2023 for whatever reason felt compelled to weigh in on the issues of the day. For those curious they can search for press releases during this time. A significant number have nothing to do with the practice of radiation oncology. Mission creep at its worst. Save the world on your own dime/time thronesniffers.
Agree weighing in back then, almost none so these days. A favorite old saw is “what do you call a Republican?… a Democrat who’s been mugged.” Maybe some DEI types in ASTRO done been mugged by the vicissitudes of life over the last 5 years.
Those labels are meaningless these days. Things have been flipped upside down. Just ask Michael Fanone
Admins take (secret, I’m sure) pride in not publishing papers. You could be a paper publisher, or you can make millions off the work of the paper publishers. Every time a paper publisher and a clinician have a twitter spat a C-suiter gets a bonus.
doesn’t spratt push protons ?
I was hoping someone would say that!
I haven’t seen that.
Another topic totally not-linked to industry. 🙂
“You’re out of your element, Danny”
I love to poke fun as much as the next guy, especially to deflate hypocrisy or pomposity. But my dad used to start meetings sometimes with “one of these days we all need to get together and be honest.” Whenever we use IMRT (a “device” I’d argue, as would CPT 77338) for prostate cancer, and I bet we all use IMRT 100 percent of the time, what is the level one evidence that it is superior to non IMRT methods.
