Two Onc Docs
This is Sam and Karine, and we are Two Onc Docs! We both graduated from our Heme/Onc fellowships in 2021 and became board certified in both Hematology and Oncology. Our mission with Two Onc Docs is to create short board review episodes that you can listen to on your drive to work, while you make your morning coffee, or between pages on call. This is intended to be a supplement to other established board studying resources for busy trainees. *This podcast is intended to be an educational resource for health care providers.*
