Radiation Oncology

[ChocolateKiss]

Does anyone know which schools have the best radiation oncology departments? I read that radiation oncology training is extremely variable because different hospitals have highly variable equipment. If you know where I can find more information about the strength of rad onc programs, please let me know!

I believe that Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center has a radiation oncology program. You should definitely look into it, because MSKCC is a premier cancer center.
