The nuclear medicine pathway (American DR residency)

Im a R3 about to take my core exam shortly. An opportunity has come up... I've been offered a dual certification in nuclear medicine through the ABR. I liked nuclear medicine on my rotations, but it is not my life's passion or anything and I plan to do a traditional fellowship as well. I enjoyed it enough though and think it is a unique skill set. Maybe it would be marketable too? idk can't really go wrong with having more qualifications.

The down side is it'd be 8 months of rotations my next year leaving me with two night float months and 3 electives of my choosing. I am concerned that I won't be able to hone in my skills prior to fellowship and I'll just be spending all my time on nuclear medicine and that it'll detract from my diagnostic radiology knowledge base.

Was wondering if anybody had any experience with this or if they think it is a good idea. I can ask my family members for advice, but they don't really understand the nitty gritty.

AI for radiology - A survey

Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
