Listen Later

How This Is Building Me, hosted by world-renowned oncologist D. Ross Camidge, MD, PhD, is a podcast focused on the highs and lows, ups and downs of all those involved with cancer, cancer medicine, and cancer science across the full spectrum of life’s experiences.

In this episode, Dr Camidge sat down with Mark Socinski, MD, a medical oncologist and the executive medical director of the AdventHealth Cancer Institute in Orlando, Florida.

Drs Camidge and Socinski discussed the highlights of Dr Socinski's career trajectory, as well as the personal influences that helped him arrive where he is today. Socinski describes himself as a clinician and clinical investigator with 35 years of focus on lung cancer. His role as executive director of the AdventHealth Cancer Institute involves maintaining an active clinic 1 day a week and dedicating the rest of his time to administrative duties, including recruitment and building infrastructure at the institution.

In the interview, Dr Socinski explained that he was influenced to enter a career in medicine because of role of the family practitioner he knew growing up. He went on to receive undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Vermont in Burlington. After training at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts, he began his career in private general oncology practice in Vermont before seeking a more academic, subspecialty environment. He joined the University of North Carolina to concentrate on lung cancer, where he pioneered dose-escalation trials using conformal radiotherapy.

Dr Socinski then described his move to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in Pennsylvania. There, he became the chair of the lung pathway, which limits treatment options to a single, expert-agreed standard of care based on efficacy, toxicity, and cost, thus reducing treatment heterogeneity and controlling costs.

Thereafter, Dr Socinski moved to AdventHealth, attracted by the institution's goal to achieve National Cancer Institute designation and build a major cancer program. Dr Socinski shared that he finds it gratifying to care for patients and lead the development of the institute.
