Radiologists: what's a day in your life like?

Hi all. Premed here. Diagnostic radiology is one of those fields that has always seemed interesting to me and I'd love to hear what your guy's days are like (both residents and attendings). I've already read all other related posts on reddit, but am super interested in hearing more from you guys!!

Here are some questions I'm particularly interested in. If you only want to answer some of the questions, feel free!

  1. Why did you choose radiology? What other specialty would you have chosen?
  2. What does your daily schedule look like?
  3. What is the best part of your job? What is the worst part of your job?
  4. How does the hospital treat you? Do you feel appreciated? Are there any perks?
  5. This may be a little bit subjective, but how do you think your "workload" compares to other specialties? (family is important to me, and I wanted to know if I'd be able to spend enough time with them)
  6. Does life get significantly better/easier as an attending? (aka how happy are you, attendings?)
  7. Do you have any hobbies (or time for hobbies) outside of work? (I've heard a lot of radiologists get pilots licenses lol)
  8. Question for residents: How much do you study at home everyday? (trying to see if I need to learn how to read before applying)
  9. Extra credit: I always see jokes about "correlate clinically". What in the world does this joke mean! lol

Thanks to anyone who replies [I know you all are busy, so no big deal if not] :)

Please note: I initially posted a version of this the Residency subreddit since some might not see it here. If its looked down upon to post in multiple places, please let me know and I can delete. Thanks!

Onetonline salary search change?

Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything. Thanks! submitted by /u/xxDamnationxx [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/h9oqup/onetonline_salary_search_change/

Radiology program

I’m from New York looking to attend a Rad tech program. I work for Northwell and recently came across a flyer for John Patrick University. it is an online AS program with clinicals in person (which my job will allow me to do) It seems as if this program is not accredited by JCERT but the school is accredited by ACCSC. I reached out to the director of the school and also the arrt and they say that there would be no issue taking boards. I haven’t really heard of anyone going through online program so I wanted to make sure everything checks out. Since this was being advertised at work I couldn’t see why they would put something that wouldn’t be accepted out.
