First attempt and will continue to work on it!
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death. We believe that radiation oncology, should be incorporated into the UME curriculum through active participation of radiation oncology clinical educators.

I met a future doctor today. My patient brought her beautiful little daughter and she loved the 🩺 so we decided to have her listen to our ❤️. She figured out that I have the loudest ❤️ sound and told me she would be a doctor just like me! Next step, recruiting her to

I actually thought to write about this and publish my experience so if anyone is interested in collaborating, please let me know! ( this will be my first twitter collaboration!)
Such a big loss for Radonc. Dr. Watson was an amazing physician, most caring for patients, residents and staff and above all, a great mentor! He will be missed in clinic, tumor board, didactics and peer review!
We are sad to announce the death of Dr. Gordon Watson, MD PHD, Vice Chair of Clinical Affairs of Radiation Oncology at IU Simon Cancer Center. Dr. Watson was a beautiful human being and true blessing for all he cared for, worked with, and mentored. He will be missed dearly.
“Just what the Dr ordered. Microchip cookies. Perfect anytime, anywhere. Yummy, special, delicious! Drs. Sweet, Smile and Share.”
The most thoughtful gift from a very special patient who truly made my day!
