someone tell me about oncology

[colorado_1]

okay, i think i want to be an oncologist. i don't mean rad/onc, just sub-specialty of int med oncologist. i want to be completely clinical (little if any clinical research though i know it's a big field for that.)

anyhow, can anyone tell me 1) how many post med school years (how many years in int med residency + onc fellowship) 2)i'm also looking for info on hours worked/pay ratio and how much on call. Lastly, how competitive is it to get into the fellowship program?

thanks
