Ep. 137 – How to thrive in an oncology PT residency – Dr. Andrew Chongaway, PT

Andrew Chongaway is a board certified oncologic clinical specialist (congrats!) & is sharing his experience going through the Beaumont oncology residency program. In our interview, we discuss the application process, how his residency affected his clinical practice, & much more.
