Has anyone ever worked as or have any knowledge of a careers as a cancer research biologist? Also can anyone tell me about the Medical doctor approach and get a fellowship in hematology/oncology? I think that I either want to go through medical school and have a career as an oncologist or get a PhD in Oncology and do research. Any information is appreciated.

How much devotion does a career in medicine require?

I’m a high school senior, and I’m planning on majoring in Chemical Engineering. However, I am also considering med school afterwards (to become a Family Physician, maybe.)

I know I’d have the qualifications for it, but I don’t know if everything will just be too overwhelming/strenuous. 4 years of med school + 3 years of residency + fellowship + yearly examinations + other stuff I don’t yet know about equals a huge chunk of your life during the years that most people settle down and start a family.

So I guess my question (sorry it took so long) is how much devotion does a career in medicine require? Don’t get me wrong, I like to be challenged, I’m a hard worker, but I don’t want to be “married” to my career.

So thanks for your help.
