Hello there
Couple questions:
1. How much physics / math does a Rad Onc actually have to work with? Do the doctors (as opposed to physicists who design equipment) actually know/work with physical and mathematical issues? Or is that all opaque to the physician?
2. As a math undergrad who has been paying his way through school as a SW engineer, I don't have much time left to do ugrad research. Any suggestions as to what I could do (either still ugrad or in med school) to learn more or better qualify myself for a radonc match and residency? (yea, I may change my mind, but heck, this field just seems so amazing
thanks a ton!
