Manoj Reddy, Founder and President at Integrative Oncology Working Group, shared on LinkedIn:
“Looking back on my journey in radiation oncology, one of the greatest challenges I’ve encountered has been a sense of community. As small as our field is, one might expect closeness and camaraderie to come naturally.
Instead, the pressures of competition, the corporatization of medicine, and a limited job market – especially in desirable cities – have often left many of us feeling unsettled. In my experience, these forces have made it difficult to create the kind of supportive connections that so many of us quietly long for.
This realization – and the need for genuine community – is one of the reasons that led to the creation of the Integrative Oncology Working Group (IOWG). What began as a small circle of colleagues has grown into a global network, bringing together diverse professionals across oncology and beyond.
As we continue to build this platform, I’ll soon share a short survey with our community. There will be a few questions, but they all center around one theme: How may we serve you?
My hope is that, in asking and listening, we not only reimagine oncology together but also rediscover what community can mean for each of us.
If this resonates, I invite you to learn more about Integrative Oncology Working Group and consider becoming part of our community.”
