title: Their favorite service.
abstract: In the face of widespread housestaff disenchantment with serving on oncology wards, the author's oncology consultation service is one of the most popular rotations among housestaff at the hospital. She discusses the factors contributing to the service's success in this regard: 1) focus of teaching efforts on residents; 2) interdisciplinary patient care model; 3) integration of ambulatory care into the rotation; 4) the consultative nature of the service.
