INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are three main types of oncologists - medical, radiation and surgical. In addition, there are also oncologists who specialize in gynecology, pediatrics and hematology. Based on your experiences in medical school, select which type of oncology you'd like to focus on - this will help narrow down residency options. By this point in your medical education, you'll have met a lot of medical doctors, specialists, and professors, not to mention fellow students. All of these are sources for ideas on where to do a residency. Do some additional research online and determine what your priorities are for a residency - then compare those priorities to the programs offered. Select more than one program to which to apply. There are many things to consider regarding a residency, including: the stability of the program (does it have a future?), what type of support you get in the program, how flexible is the program schedule, what is the reputation of the institution, does it provide you with the possibility of advancement after it done, location, and more. Review all the prerequisites and requirements of the application and ensure you have them all in order. Write a draft of your personal statement, walk away for at least 24 hours and come back and revise it. Ask someone (professor, doctor, fellow student) to review your statement for you and provide feedback. Update and finalize your CV. Submit your applications via the method indicated for each program. Many residency programs use the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) which helps potential residents and residency programs find each other. Many residency programs also use the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) as a centralized method to receive applications and documentation from applicants. Just like medical school, every residency program will want to interview you before offering your admission to their program. At this level it is likely you'll need to attend the interview in person, but some programs may help pay the cost of travel. Your residency offers (or matches in this case) will come through the ERAS system where you submitted your application. All residency matches are released on Match Day which is the third Friday of March each year. Due to how the system works, you should receive only one offer - based on how your ranked each programs, and how each program ranked you. You are required to accept that offer, which means you have to be very care how many programs you select, and how you rank them. The experiences you gain in your residency program are vital to your career as an oncologist. Don't hesitate to ask questions if you have any. Use your residency to enlarge your professional network and learn about potential fellowships and full-time jobs.

SUMMARY: Choose an oncology sub-specialty. Choose one or more residency programs. Submit residency applications. Attend the residency interviews. Accept a residency offer. Complete your residency program.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are many antiperspirants designed especially for hands and feet. Nonprescription antiperspirants will temporarily block sweat pores, which means less sweat will be produced on your skin. Make sure to choose an antiperspirant and not just a deodorant; these are different kinds of products for different uses. It may help to include an antiperspirant in your daily body care routine, preventing occasional sweat rather than treating already-sweaty palms. Consult a dermatologist or a general care provider for guidance about different antiperspirant products. Loose-fitting clothing can help your body regulate its temperature, reducing the amount of sweat that appears on uncovered body parts. Cotton, wool, and silk generally allow your skin to breathe and are good choices for hot weather. Sport clothing that wicks away sweat may be a good choice for exercising. These powders absorb moisture easily, keeping your hands from appearing too damp. They can also help increase your grip, which may be diminished due to sweat. Avoid caking your hands in powder, which may make you sweat more. A light dusting is fine. Be sure to wash powder off afterwards. Tasks such as typing, construction, or writing involve a lot of friction, heat, and work. Make sure you take regular breaks when performing these activities so your body can regulate its temperature. Wiping your hands off with a soft cloth or towel may also help. Breaks can be combined with other sweat-reduction tips found in this article; for instance, during a break you could wash your hands or move to a cooler place. If possible, try to alternate your tasks throughout the day. Type for half an hour and then do a different task before coming back to typing. This will allow your body to rest. Don't hide your hands in your pockets or cover them with gloves or rings. Keeping your hands in cramped areas will make them damp, warm, and sweaty. Though cool air may feel uncomfortable or cold on very sweaty patches of skin, it will help reduce sweating. A simple cotton cloth can keep your hands dry for a period of time. You needn't wipe your hands off regularly, only when they become unreasonably sweaty. Cotton is preferable, as it absorbs moisture well. Consider keeping a plastic baggy with you in which you can keep used cloths. Dipping your handkerchief or cloth in rubbing alcohol can help your hands stay clean and cool.

SUMMARY:
Apply antiperspirant to your hands. Choose clothing that complements your activities. Rub talcum powder or cornstarch between your palms. Take frequent breaks when using your hands. Allow air to circulate on your palms and fingers. Keep a napkin or handkerchief with you to dry off your hands whenever necessary.
