Choosing radiology as a specialty

Hello, radiologists of reddit.

I'm a general practitioner and next month I'm choosing my medical specialty. I've never considered radiology as a specialty during med school years since you don't get to see much in those years, until I prepared for the medical residency tests.

I wanted to become a clinician, but during my rotations and intern year, the day to day kind of disappointed me.

I have some doubts about the profile of a radiologist, like what kind of qualities would define a good radiologist such as space intelligence (is this learnable?) or AI in the future.

Also, what would you recommend in order to choose a hospital to become a radiologist?

Thank you in advance.

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/

I got into the Rad Tech program!

I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...
