Before your Radiation Oncology residency interview, research the program you are interviewing with to see if they offer any specific pathways for their residents. Then come to your interview prepared to discuss your ideal training path that will lead you to your ultimate career goals. There is no right or wrong answer as long as you show your interviewing team that you have an ideal path for your training.
