I am applying for surgical oncology this year and have a few questions about programs.
Which programs are considered the best in terms of combination of surgery volume, autonomy and excellent reputation/recognition in the community. I have heard many say the top programs are sloan kettering and MDACC. but is this just because they have the "reputation/recognition" aspect? Do they allow fellows autonomy especially in the OR?
Also wanted to know what people think is the most important aspect of matching?
Is it LOR from well recognized faculty in surgical oncology? Or is research and publications more important?
Please feel free to send a PM me (i understand that surg onc is a small community and some may feel some information is too sensitive for the public forum).
