Another important aspect to consider is developing excellent communication skills, as you will be working closely with pet owners, fellow veterinarians, and oncology specialists. shadowing experienced oncologists and participating in support groups or community outreach programs can provide valuable insights and help hone your interpersonal skills. Remember, persistence and resilience are key in this competitive process. #oncology #communicationskills #vetmed
It's also worth noting that some veterinary schools and institutions offer combined residency and PhD programs for those interested in pursuing a career in academic veterinary oncology. This route allows you to gain both clinical and research experience and can be a great option if you're interested in contributing to the knowledge base of veterinary oncology. #oncology #research #vetmed
