    Heard rad onc is going down the tank. Huge amount of unfilled seats for 2019. Makes sense after the leadership screwed the residents. They made the radbio exam unnecessary difficult with inadequate study guides. Not to mention this push for hypofractionation which means less revenue but yet rad onc leaders want to expand residencies. Salaries are decreasing as well because of this. It's sad what happened to radonc

    Great interview from what I’ve watched so far. What would you suggest a person do for an undergrad before Med school? Are you in school for a total of eight years and then residency? Or is residency part of that eight yrs? Is 42/no undergrad too late to start?? Thanks Dr. Mercado & Dr. Webb!

      SurreallTV HUGE eye opener of a response. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. For time, money, and sanity I really believe the NP is the way to go. Make money the whole time and still help patients. I think this seems more logical than taking the obvious risks and gamble with the MD route. And yes, I’m 42 but feel like I’m 90 and act like I’m 20 most days lol. Thanks you again!!
