I was hoping Dr. Kopelman would let Dr. Jain explain why she ruled out pulmonary & critical care and chose hematology & oncology! Those are the two I'm most interested in, even though I realize they're both completely different subspecialties (e.g. pulm/ccm has a lot more procedures like central lines, intubations, and learning the vent; the various ICUs like the MICU allow for a shift work mentality; pulm involves pulm consults as well as outpatient pulm so pulm/ccm can be a good mix between inpatient and outpatient work; pulm/ccm involves a lot of family meetings to discuss goals of care and the like; hem/onc, outside of fellowship, i.e. as an attending, is largely outpatient work with more or less regular if long hours and limited call and typically call from home; hem/onc involves a lot of breaking bad news).
This is what I aspire to be! Been interested in Oncology since high school; I've already graduated from med school and did an MSc with some research, now preparing for the Steps.... hopefully I'll get there! Thanks a lot for this video.
There are Medical (Chemotherapy), immunologic, Radiotherapy and Surgical Oncology sub specialist as well. They all work together. The Patient is the focus ! And the family along with social workers help the patient! Nurses also specialize in these areas. Enough works to need people.
