Regarding the Google Docs Rad Onc Spreadsheet

Members do not see this ad.

Just a reminder, please no linking or posting the Google Docs Rad Onc Spreadsheet on SDN.

SDN has nothing to do this with spreadsheet, and we have never had anything to do with it.

We allowed an occasional link or two years ago with hesitation since it is completely unmoderated.

We then ended up with an article reviewing that spreadsheet and attributing it to SDN: The Influence of Online Forums on Radiation Oncology Residency Program Selection - PubMed

I wrote a reply to the editor here: Re: The Influence of Online Forums on Radiation Oncology Residency Program Selection - PubMed

I'm not interested in repeating that ridiculous bit of rad onc history.


In unrelated news, at ASTRO this year I overheard that @Gfunk6 was singlehandedly responsible for rad onc's decline in residency competitiveness. ChatGPT came up with these awards for him:

• The Gold Medal in Participation – for making everyone a winner by default.
• The Beam Me Down Award – for lowering the barrier of entry at light speed.
• The Linear Accelerator of Mediocrity – for flattening the competition curve.
• The Nobel Prize in Career Counseling – for single-handedly expanding applicant job security.
• The Relativity Award – because competitiveness, like time, is now relative.
• The Proton Pass Award – for letting everyone through without resistance.

When my PD was giving me suggestions on how to become more competitive for rad onc, I suggested alternatively, I could just make the field less competitive lol by joining threads blasting it online. "I graduated last year and now I make 250k in rural nebraska"
