In this cross-collaboration episode, Drs. Sam Armstrong and Karine Tawagi—hosts of the “Two Onc Docs” podcast—join the show to share their personal journeys into oncology and the inspiration behind launching a podcast for the oncology community. The conversation then expands into a candid, practical discussion of oncology career paths, offering fellows and early-career physicians real-world guidance on choosing a first job, negotiating contracts and compensation, evaluating mentorship, and balancing professional goals with life outside of medicine. From academic practice to alternative stakeholder roles, this honest dialogue unpacks the many decisions that shape a sustainable and fulfilling career in medicine.
