NCI and Jefferson

[Joe N]

Hi all,

I just joined the forum and this is my first post.

First, a comment. I am happy to have found this site because information on Rad-Onc programs seems to be hard to come by. I've requested info from programs, and they've asked me to apply first. So now that I've applied, I still don't know info that is important to me!

Now, some questions. Can anyone comment a little more in depth about the NCI program. I've heard the clinical exposure is average to poor. What are the strengths? Also I would like to hear more about TJU. It was ranked in the top 10 by someone, but I didn't see anyone comment on its strengths either.

Thanks in advance.

Joe

welcome joe: Ill leave it to folks who've been to these programs to comment. In the meanwhile, be aware our national meeting is going on right now (here I sit in Utah checking in as I type) and so you may not get too much by way of responce for a few days.
All the best,
Steph

well ok, so I can tell you this much. The NCI program is highly academic; that is there is an emphasis on new protocols and the weird and wondeful. I also direct you to this thread:

Good luck.
