Oncologist

Oncologist

Duties and Responsibilities: Oncologists specialize in the treatment and diagnosing of cancer in patients’ bodies. They will normally look towards chemotherapy and other medicine to control the growth of the patient’s cancer and hopefully even stop it completely. Before being able to treat the illness they must be able to determine if the person is really a cancer patient.

Salary: $217,856

Education: Specialists must go through up to eight years of undergraduate medical school. They must also go through training and pass a licensing exam in order to perform their specialty. 


Reflection: I would like to become an oncologist because cancer is such a common disease that affects so many people and I would like to do all I can to possibly stop it.
