How much does the reputation of your residency impact the job hunt?

By

Currently applying DR and I'm very conflicted on how my rank list should be.

Almost all of my interviews have been at academic programs. I hate describing them by tiers since it's so subjective, but I believe 1 program is considered a top 10, 2 others are in the top 20, and then the rest are solidly in the middle.

That said, I have one community program that I loved. Includes a great transitional year (minimal moving for my family), large medical center so they see comparable pathology/volume to academic centers, and I just generally felt a better vibe with the residents/PD - it was a lot more laidback, which much better suits my personality.

My question is, how much does going to a good community program over a much more known/highly reputable program (eg. duke, pitt, mayo, etc.) impact your eventual job hunt? My ideal job would probably be in PP, but I'd like to be in a major city for the sake of my family and I'm not sure how much having a name brand behind my training would elevate me or not. I also enjoy teaching and could see myself doing one of these hybrid PP/academic jobs in the future as well.

One radiologist I spoke to said the last place you train at is the one that matters the most, and this community program does match their residents at solid fellowships. Do you agree/disagree with that? Thanks

I got into the Rad Tech program!

By
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 ...

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
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/
