All of you rad onc residents out there:
While you were in med school considering/applying for rad onc, did you ever wonder if you'd be able to understand the material well enough in residency so you didn't have to go through your whole residency struggling? Is there a way before residency to have a good indicator as to whether or not you'd be struggling to grasp the material?
Of course it's hard, of course there will be times of struggle, but there is a difference between that and being constantly stressed out because you're struggling or falling behind. I assume the physics and math comes naturally to some and not as naturally to others. To those whom it may not have come naturally, what was your experience?
Thank you
