| Radiation oncology is a rewarding clinical specialty that includes hands-on multidisciplinary clinical care of cancer patients and mastery over sophisticated radiation treatment technology. It combines patient-oriented clinical skills with knowledge of the fascinating, ever-changing field of cancer biology, anatomy-based three-dimensional imaging competence and physics-based technical radiation treatment planning skills. Radiation oncology demands the development of competence in general medicine and palliative care, specifically in evidenced-based clinical oncology, it requires a commitment to excellent communication and collaboration skills and it provides an inclusive, supportive and inspiring multidisciplinary practice environment. Radiation oncology allows for a career focusing primarily on clinical practice or for a highly academic career combining practice with education, research and/or cancer control administration. |
