Abstract 

The French Society of Young Radiation Oncologists (SFjRO), the National Union of Radiation Oncologists (SNRO) and the French Society of Oncological Radiotherapy (SFRO) aim to reconcile career opportunities and demographic needs in oncology. In 2021, 932 radiation oncologists (RO) are in regular activity in France, this represents an increase of more than 20% in ten years. Physician distribution is changing in public hospitals, cancer centers and private clinics. Currently one third of ROs works in each sector. In addition, fifteen percent of ROs have a mixed activity. In 2021, 180 young RO (trainees and residents) were questioned by SFjRO board about their training, internship, coaching and career guidance. An interactive communication was organized during the 32nd SFRO Meeting in 2021. It was an opportunity to bring the results of this study. More than 70% RO interviewed answered to the survey, for 55% among them, career choice was difficult. In order to help young ROs in their professional approach, three RO made an oral presentation during this session, about radiotherapy in public hospitals, private centers or with a mixed practice. The aim of this article is to summarize the highlights of the last SFjRO/SFRO session: expectations of young RO, career prospects and trends.
