What Are My Options? Introducing Health Professional Students to Subspecialties
N. Ali, T. A. Dhere, J. E. Bates, & J. Y. Lin
Training programs for health professionals provide students with the general skills of their field, but only some exposure to the career paths that they might pursue after graduation. Students are often not aware of all specialty choices, and educators from less represented fields must look for ways to become more visible. This dilemma is faced by radiation oncologists, who often lack face time with medical students. In this piece, we present some recommendations for radiation oncology educators, based on our experiences, that can be adapted for use by other health professional educators to increase the visibility of their areas of practice for students.
