Practice Patterns of Graduates from a Surgical Oncology Fellowship Program

Our findings confirm that the existing surgical oncology training positions trainees well for practice, even in a landscape with many partially overlapping and competing surgical fellowships. In addition, many graduates are engaged in administrative and leadership roles suggesting that surgical oncologists may benefit from formalized leadership training during fellowship.

Abstract

Our findings confirm that the existing surgical oncology training positions trainees well for practice, even in a landscape with many partially overlapping and competing surgical fellowships. In addition, many graduates are engaged in administrative and leadership roles suggesting that surgical oncologists may benefit from formalized leadership training during fellowship.
