What I like about NL: NL is home for me, the people are what make it such a special place to live and work. The city trails and coastal views are spectacular, there is no such thing as 'stuck in traffic', and the food, from the small bakeries to restaurants that consistently rank in Canada's top 100 are delicious!
What are the highlights of the program for you: The entire team at the Cancer Center is wonderful to work with. The program is flexible, accommodating, and highly supportive. Resident voices are heard and valued and feedback is incorporated as appropriate. The Medical Oncology group has extensive experience, expertise, and exceptional leadership within it. A low staff to learner ratio allows for ample and personalized learning opportunities. There truly is something for everyone here.
One piece of the advice you want to share with applicants about the interview process: Be yourself and be curious - ask any questions that you might have!
