Clinical rotations in oncology are essential for several reasons:
Practical Experience: Students gain real-world experience by interacting with cancer patients and observing treatment protocols. Multidisciplinary Approach: Cancer treatment often involves a team of specialists, including surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, and medical oncologists. Rotations help students understand the importance of a multidisciplinary approach. Skill Development: Students develop critical skills such as diagnosing cancer, staging the disease, and planning treatment strategies. Patient Interaction: Learning how to communicate effectively with patients and their families is crucial in oncology.
