Hello everyone:
I am new at this forum. I am one of the 200+ unfortunate fourth year medical students who are applying for Rad Onc this year. In preparation for my fourth year elective as well as the (few!) upcoming interviews, I wanted to make myself knowledgeable about some of the basics that I would be expected to know at my level.
With that said...I would appreciate info or where to look for the info such as websites and/or papers/journal articles etc. regarding the following:
1. The new and old technologies+concepts in Rad Onc. I have heard about the new technologies (such as in FAQ, Tomotherapy etc.), it would be good to have a chronology in the appearance of them (starting from the old), may be a brief description and some websites or other place where I can get in depth information about each. I know, I will eventually have to go to pubmed...but any information to start with would be appreciated.
2. what are some of the top journals for Rad onc.?
3. Any introductory (I know all med students love review books!) text that I should try to get my hands on?
Thanks.
