The latest podcast by Anthony Zietman, MD, Editor in Chief of the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics focuses on the recently published paper "Practice Consolidation Among U.S. Radiation Oncologists Over Time." Authors of the paper, Dr. Michael Milligan, MD, MBA, and Miranda Lam, MD, MBA, both of Harvard Medical School, explain the method they used to calculate practice consolidation in radiation oncology, how it compares to other specialties, and the possible reasons behind consolidation. The authors also discuss how consolidation impacts patient outcomes, and what the future of radiation oncology could look like if practice consolidation continues.
