RADIOLOGY RESIDENCY - Everything You NEED to Know

Radiology Residency - Everything you ever need to know.
When I was looking to match into radiology residency, there wasn't a ton of information out there regarding what to look for. I did a ton of research and took ample notes during all of my interviews. Now, after completing a Radiology Residency, I can easily look back at what I thought the most important factors are, and tell you exactly what you should be looking for in a radiology residency! Hope this helps a lot of people out there.

[@matchmadeinmedicine3727]

"The best field in medicine: radiology". Not biased at all! 😂 Great tips though. We are applying to residencies this year and it's very insightful to hear about what we need to look for in programs.

[@mustafaalhasan3751]

I am a Neuroradiology fellow at UTSW who finished resdiency training at Ochsner, New Orleans. I definitely agree with going for a resident run program. Volume is a major thing. The more you see, the more comfortable you will be and the faster you will become. Trauma center is good but you get tired of it after a while. There is no perfect program out there. Formulate a set of goals you want to achieve in residency after talking to residents and just go the place that offers you everything you need!

[@spideylover4105]

@@ACrippledCaveMan as far as I know there are no mid-levels in radiology. If there are, they are VERY few

[@temporaryrelief2981]

@@spideylover4105there are definitely mid levels in radiology. I shadowed a PA in Interventional Radiology, basically she performed bread and butter procedures but did no reading whatsoever. Nobody will take a midlevels diagnostic reads seriously, we will always need an MD/DO finalizing the report. Radiology is relatively safe from mid level scope creep

[@funsize198]

I love this video. Aren't most resident run programs county programs? I prefer that over academic programs. In most cases, residency is harder than being an attending, however, I've heard for radiology, it only gets harder after residency bc you have to pick up the speed.

[@Radictor44]

damn, i love that mac - on another note, it's true, trusting your gut is important. If your gut feeling is giving you a strong vibe and you weigh up the pros on cons (saying moving jobs), you're comfortable in your old job, but you know... like you KNOW, you should take the new job. Fricking take it peoples, you only live once!

Attendings that do not teach are a problem in all countries in the world and in all specialies. I really like your videos and how you explain the residency in the USA. After watching your videos I think I'd really liked to have done radiology. I'm board certified in internal medicine but not in the US.

This is great information on how to decide on a radiology residency program... What other radiology residency programs did you consider besides UNC?

[@RadSel8]

I would like a video on how to match into rads

[@Aymanthenerd]

Another important thing to look out for, especially if you are interested in interventional radiology, is that the institution has a hepatobiliary transplant service. Interventional radiologists are heavily involved in this service and a proper IR should have experience with hepatoiliary interventional procedures. Would you agree, Dr Cellini?

[@tanmaysoni2259]

Excellent video Sir! I am a first year MBBS student (India) and Radiology seems to be pretty interesting to me. 😁 What are some methods to learn it from now? Please guide, Sir.

[@jeromeramirez1516]

Do you have any idea about life after residency? Many people complain about decreasing reimbursements, 24/7 on call and requiring reads for every single type of studies no matter your fellowship. Is Radiology on the long run going to be a 24/7 specialty where our hours won’t be as good as before?

[@maiyasmith1613]

How do you recommend we find out if a program is "resident run"? Especially with COVID, away rotations have been cancelled so its definitely been difficult to get a feel of programs.

[@LuluaWBeautyandStyle]

02:34 I get that it's important to jump right in and learn to be more autonomous early on, but how do manage the worry of potentially making a life-threatening mistake when you have that much autonomy as a junior resident?

[@kimberlypetreehhpnd3585]

Lulua what is the defining moment that makes you ready for that reality? I will be looking for a program that will allow me to have that level of autonomy, but I’ve been in health care for 25 years, direct patient care.

One question not answered! What is the IMG Chance to get into radiology residency?

[@jenmoon1906]

Have you ever had a patient that only wanted the attending to perform the procedure?

[@DrAdamHotchkiss]

Honestly when this happens I'm kinda happy. Especially if its a not so nice attending :P I'm like "hey attending, you actually have to work today, I cant do everything for you" haha I never take it as an insult though. I totally understand where the patient is coming from. I'm a resident and if a family member needed a procedure I dont know if I'd be ok with a resident doing the procedure. Its a strange internal conflict haha. Atul Gawande writes about it in one of his books. "Better" maybe

Hi Dr. I’m wondering if getting internal medicine residency as an IMG, could it be possible to switch it the next year to a diagnostic radiology residency or not? Is it impossible to get a diagnostic radiology residency program in other way than in the first match (residency)???

[@TypicalMrGamer]

you can switch out of a categorical IM position! I've done it!

[@summerdow7149]

For the volume aspect of any residency. When you apply for specific residency programs at diffferent hospitals, isn’t volume something you get to know once you’re already in a program? Like how do you know about specific stuff such as volume or if you can do a lot of procedures during your training, is this something that you can ask during interviews?

[@DrAdamHotchkiss]

I think its really important that you ask all the questions you have of the program. This could be before applying, during interviews etc. This is a huge decision in your life and you need to make sure the program has what you want/need to become the doctor you want to be. I always think its great to try to talk to current and past residents, I feel like they will give you the best outlook

[@killerx367]

Have you posted a day in the life of a PA aka your wife?

[@HHSMCJROTC]

I hear you but ... As a premed/med student, how does one know which residencies have the needed criterion? If one seeks radiology vs. another specialty, how do we know which residency yields what we need for our field?

[@DrAdamHotchkiss]

Visit the programs, talk to current and past residents etc. It can be very difficult, especially with COVID now. I think I saw on his channel they were doing residency interviews online, so the applicants couldn't even visit the program. How scary would that be!? I remember Cellini made a video for them about the program though which was cool.

[@HHSMCJROTC]

Dr. Adam Hotchkiss ya, therein lies my point. I think it may be so difficult for premeds to do it, but easier for med students cuz clinical hrs for them are spent in the hospital with the ppl u mentioned, whereas clinical for premeds isn’t spent with them.

[@DrAdamHotchkiss]

Astromed yeah I could definitely see that! But I would say as a pre med you probably don’t need to be worrying TOO much about residency placement. There’s a long way to go before you get to that point. You may go into medical school thinking you know 100% you’re going to be a radiologist and then get exposed to surgery and change up your entire mindset. I know that’s cliche to say, and everyone says you end up changing your mind about specialties in med school, but everyone says it because it’s true! You’re doing awesome thinking so far ahead though!

[@HHSMCJROTC]

Dr. Adam Hotchkiss agreed about needing to defer worrying about residency placement. I’m just thinking about the connections he mentioned. I’m unsure how to determine those for med school cuz different schools have different ways of teaching their curriculum and such.

[@gregstaveee]

Can you make a video about the dark side of medicine and reasons why you shouldn’t be a doctor? Interested in medicine, but the suicide rates of physicians is unsettling and I’m trying to understand why it’s the highest

[@DrAdamHotchkiss]

Its an extremely long and hard road. Doctors put others in front of themselves for years on end working incredibly long hard hours. It can be very hard on the psyche. But it can also be so rewarding. If you're getting into it for just the title or just for money then it wont be worth it and will be very hard on you. If you have a true passion and love for medicine then it'll feel worth it

[@spideylover4105]

A lot of it fits into the general horrendous theme of equating suffering with success. Another part is you need to choose a field that can do for at least two decades without coming to hate it. That means taking salary, lifestyle, vacation time, and stress into account but that's generally looked down upon as if you're going into it for the wrong reasons. Curiously though docs over 50 all stress that you should absolutely take those factors into account. I'm going into radiology because I don't really like patients. That's considered pretty taboo to say, but you better fuckin know that about yourself because if you have to deal with whining patients day in and day out you'll start learning how to tie a noose.

[@DrAdamHotchkiss]

100 ct studies in a single overnight shift. OMG

[@davidbarton2768]

Ha I don’t think he was saying all those studies were CTs. Reading that many cross-sectional studies in one night shift isn’t realistic if you are actually doing your due diligence and not missing stuff. Probably a lot of those were radiographs and ultrasounds.

[@DrAdamHotchkiss]

thats wild!

[@dailydoseofmedicinee]

An undergraduate degree will take you four years to complete, a medical degree program will take you another four, your residency consists of an additional four years and finally, the training for your sub-specialty will last a year. Therefore, in order to become a radiologist, it can typically take up to 13 years.👍

[@DrCellini]

You forgot intern year. So it’s 14yrs total
