Pediatric Oncologist

Job Description Although surgeons and radiation oncologists may treat cancer in pediatric patients, the term 'pediatric oncologist' usually refers to physicians who have specialized in pediatrics and then received further training in medical oncology and hematology. This means that rather than using surgery or radiation therapy to treat cancer, pediatric oncologists typically use medications and chemotherapy. Since pediatric oncologists treat children, their focus is somewhat different than that of medical oncologists who treat adults. Pediatric patients are not usually afflicted by the wide variety of cancers that are typically seen in adult patients, so pediatric oncologists may deal with fewer cancer cases and more hematologic disorders. Pediatric hematologist/oncologists primarily treat leukemia, lymphoma, embryonic tumors and genetic blood disorders, such as sickle-cell anemia and hemophilia. They may choose to narrow their practice and treat only cancers or only blood disorders.

Duties Diagnose Treat Research

Hours they work Pediatric oncologist work 40+ hours a week, however the exact amount of hours cant be determined. This is due to the fact that pediatric oncologist can also be on-call.in most cases they can work up to 12 hours a day Oncologists can easily balance personal life and work

Educational background needed 1.Earn a Bachelor's Degree 2.Pass the MCAT 3.Apply to Medical School 4.Graduate from Medical School 5.Obtain Medical Licensure

Wanting this career The reason of me selecting this career is because I like working with kids I like to motivate them I want to help the be someone in life one day and then they can help kids the way I helped them. Another reason is because I watched someone suffer by cancer and I watched how it hurt him and it hurts me watching little kids suffer I want them to keep moving even if life knocks them down I want to help them get back up an and be someone in life. Even watching them in the television commercials it touches my heart I want to work and be an oncologist so that I can help kids defeat and fight cancer.
