Medical Students
Clinical oncology
Clinical oncology specialises in the treatment of cancer with systemic therapies (including chemotherapy, targeted agents, immunotherapy) and radiotherapy. It involves working closely within a multidisciplinary team, which can include specialist nurses, radiographers, physicists, dieticians, and speech and language therapists.
Clinical radiology
If you are after a specialty that is challenging, satisfying and innovative, this could be the path for you. Radiologists tend to be problem-solvers with broad clinical knowledge and a keen eye for detail. They also have good communication skills; necessary because they are often the ‘go-to person’ for other clinicians.
