Oncologist
Duties and Responsibilities:
Oncologists
are physicians and surgeons who evaluate and treat patients suffering from
cancer. Their responsibility includes talking with patients about symptoms and
examining signs of the disease. They also analyze test results, and discuss
treatments options and monitor patient’s progress during therapy.
Salary: $184,820
Education:
You
need a Bachelor’s degree, and it must include course work in biological and
chemical sciences. You also need to get in to a good school which requires you
to pass a MCAT. This is a program that takes four years to complete, and
includes classroom studies, lab work, and supervised clinical or hospital
rotations. You also need a 3-8 years of internship and residence. Last you need
to be licensed.
Reflection:
I would not like to
be an oncologist because I wouldn’t like to be telling people that their son/or
daughter has cancer. I would find it devastating. Like I find it sad dealing
with people that are sick that in a matter of time they end up dying. I would
not like to be an oncologist.
