Would you go into hem onc if you were a med student?
We hear a lot about the doom and gloom for rad onc as a field, but as a med student, I hear very little about hem onc and its future. Overall, it seems like a solid field with a decent lifestyle, great compensation, and large future growth. Was just wondering what everyone on here thought?
Thanks (Source: Student Doctor Network)

ACGME Survey and implications
Hey all,
Long time lurker, first time poster here.
This may sound like a wierd question, but I'm in the (rather negative) headspace where I have to ask it.
