  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    Yesha Gupta, a board-certified radiologist, discusses questions to ask during residency interviews. The first question addresses the strengths and weaknesses of a program, providing insights into its culture and potential pain points. It's essential to query the division of workload among residents, fellows, and attendings to understand expected responsibilities and learning opportunities. Questions about resident autonomy and confidence-building are vital as they reveal how programs encourage independent decision-making, crucial for developing as a radiologist. The importance of having independent call experiences during residency is emphasized, though some may rely on fellowship for confidence building.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    Gupta highlights the value of asking about opportunities beyond radiology, such as involvement in hospital committees or leadership roles, which can broaden experience. Inquiring how programs respond to resident feedback is crucial; a receptive program indicates adaptability and respect for resident concerns. Changes on the horizon, like leadership shifts or policy adjustments, should be known as they impact residency training. She further advises asking about board exam preparation, particularly with the oral boards returning, and the importance of lighter rotations for exam readiness, underscoring exam difficulty and the program's role in ensuring success.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:16:07

    Understanding the business side of radiology, often overlooked in academic settings, is crucial for career preparedness in both private and academic fields. Discussions during residency about billing, contracts, and economics are essential as these are rarely covered otherwise. Finally, inquiries about interdisciplinary conferences or tumor boards are recommended to gauge collaboration and learning opportunities with other specialties, enhancing diagnostic skills and professional relationships. Gupta concludes by encouraging residents to dig deeper into responses during interviews to truly understand program dynamics, marking the end of her residency interview series.

  • 00:00:00
    hi everybody my name is yesha Gupta I'm
  • 00:00:01
    a board certified radiologist and today
  • 00:00:03
    we're going to be talking about 10
  • 00:00:04
    questions that you should be asking at
  • 00:00:06
    your residency
  • 00:00:07
    interviews all right you guys I just
  • 00:00:09
    recorded this entire video without
  • 00:00:11
    hitting the record button and I'm like
  • 00:00:14
    in shock so we're going to take a second
  • 00:00:15
    we're going to take a
  • 00:00:16
    second okay number one I think this is a
  • 00:00:20
    great question to ask residents and
  • 00:00:22
    faculty members and I would ask multiple
  • 00:00:24
    residents and multiple faculty members
  • 00:00:26
    that question is what are the greatest
  • 00:00:27
    strengths and weaknesses of your program
  • 00:00:29
    that's going to give you insight into
  • 00:00:30
    how the residents really feel about what
  • 00:00:32
    is good and what is bad about their
  • 00:00:34
    program and you will hear different
  • 00:00:36
    perspectives from different people I
  • 00:00:38
    will say that a lot of times the answer
  • 00:00:40
    to this question becomes the people the
  • 00:00:42
    people I love the people here the people
  • 00:00:44
    make this great it's because obviously
  • 00:00:46
    we have the best field everyone is
  • 00:00:47
    amazing in Radiology but truthfully
  • 00:00:50
    it'll give you good insight into how the
  • 00:00:51
    residents perceive their program if they
  • 00:00:53
    perceive it you know what's positive
  • 00:00:55
    about it and what's negative about it
  • 00:00:57
    and that usually kind of brings out
  • 00:00:58
    really what everyone finds to be a pain
  • 00:01:01
    point in their program cuz usually it's
  • 00:01:03
    like a common denominator residents get
  • 00:01:05
    together complain about you know oh I
  • 00:01:06
    can't believe we still have to do blah
  • 00:01:08
    blah blah and that's what'll come out
  • 00:01:10
    when you ask this question so good
  • 00:01:11
    question to ask second question how is
  • 00:01:14
    the workload divided by residents and
  • 00:01:16
    fellows and this goes and attendings I
  • 00:01:18
    should say and this goes for both
  • 00:01:19
    procedures complex cases any of the
  • 00:01:22
    cases on the work list how does it get
  • 00:01:23
    divided do residents also get to do
  • 00:01:26
    these you know high level procedures do
  • 00:01:27
    they also get to do these complex cases
  • 00:01:29
    Advanced Imaging or does it all go to
  • 00:01:31
    the fellows or and do the attending read
  • 00:01:34
    anything on their own or is everything
  • 00:01:35
    kind of read out with a resident or a
  • 00:01:37
    fellow because different programs work
  • 00:01:39
    differently you might be reading side by
  • 00:01:41
    side with a resident a fellow attending
  • 00:01:43
    everybody reading you might have an
  • 00:01:45
    attendant that's sitting in their office
  • 00:01:48
    and they only come in to do readouts
  • 00:01:50
    depends what you want depends what you
  • 00:01:52
    like um I personally loved having my
  • 00:01:54
    attending right next to me because I
  • 00:01:55
    could ask some questions on the Fly I
  • 00:01:58
    could run something by them if there was
  • 00:02:00
    like something crazy that came through I
  • 00:02:02
    could just have them look at it right
  • 00:02:03
    there and then the best part of it all
  • 00:02:05
    was just building relationships with
  • 00:02:07
    people right like I got to be their
  • 00:02:08
    friend I got to learn about them they
  • 00:02:09
    taught me so much about like attending
  • 00:02:11
    life that I would never have known
  • 00:02:13
    otherwise just by being in the same room
  • 00:02:15
    as them for so many hours every day but
  • 00:02:17
    every program looks different and I
  • 00:02:19
    think everyone ends up loving their
  • 00:02:21
    experience in different ways like you
  • 00:02:23
    end up liking what you know and so since
  • 00:02:26
    that's what I knew that's what I like
  • 00:02:28
    but doesn't always have to be that way
  • 00:02:30
    and uh yeah so just ask that question
  • 00:02:32
    how are things divided up and then
  • 00:02:33
    you'll get to know what your actual
  • 00:02:35
    workday would look like whether you just
  • 00:02:36
    have to do bread and butter cases plain
  • 00:02:38
    films or if you actually get to dip your
  • 00:02:40
    toes into like body mrr you know these
  • 00:02:43
    advanced cases doing LPs doing big IR
  • 00:02:46
    cases things like that or if you will be
  • 00:02:48
    stuck doing little stuff so that's a
  • 00:02:51
    good question to ask the next question
  • 00:02:52
    is about how much autonomy do residents
  • 00:02:55
    get and how do we learn to be confident
  • 00:02:57
    by yourself the reason I specifically
  • 00:02:59
    asked this question is because if you
  • 00:03:00
    are sitting side by side by a fellow or
  • 00:03:02
    an attending in my case um you might not
  • 00:03:05
    have that sense of confidence or
  • 00:03:06
    autonomy because everything that you
  • 00:03:08
    have a question about you can just turn
  • 00:03:10
    around and be like would you call that
  • 00:03:11
    or should I not call you know you can
  • 00:03:13
    just run everything by them and it's
  • 00:03:15
    really good like even now as an
  • 00:03:16
    attending especially in breast I'm sure
  • 00:03:18
    you have experienced this or you will
  • 00:03:20
    experience this like we all do consensus
  • 00:03:21
    conference where we're like would you
  • 00:03:23
    call this back would you pass this would
  • 00:03:25
    you follow this would you biopsy this
  • 00:03:26
    like we're asking all the time and other
  • 00:03:28
    radiology and others Radiologists and
  • 00:03:30
    other Specialties are doing the same but
  • 00:03:33
    in order to ever work on your own and
  • 00:03:35
    have confidence on your own you do need
  • 00:03:36
    to be able to make decisions when
  • 00:03:39
    there's nobody else around so how do you
  • 00:03:41
    learn that I mean residency is the place
  • 00:03:43
    to learn that and so you want to ask how
  • 00:03:45
    do you get that confidence in your
  • 00:03:47
    program and the again the reason why I
  • 00:03:50
    specifically ask this question is
  • 00:03:52
    because many programs are getting rid of
  • 00:03:54
    independent call and independent call
  • 00:03:56
    was really where I feel like I learned
  • 00:03:57
    how to be a radiologist I have video
  • 00:04:00
    about it and whatever and I know that
  • 00:04:01
    like everyone is like well programs that
  • 00:04:03
    have it say that it's the best thing and
  • 00:04:05
    programs that don't have it say that
  • 00:04:06
    that's the best thing it doesn't really
  • 00:04:09
    matter at the end of the day but even if
  • 00:04:11
    you don't have it you have to have a way
  • 00:04:13
    of being independent confident learning
  • 00:04:16
    how to be a radiologist I will say a lot
  • 00:04:18
    of people Bank on learning how to be
  • 00:04:20
    confident as a fellow because that's
  • 00:04:21
    when you're like on your own and that is
  • 00:04:23
    program dependent I think that for me I
  • 00:04:25
    actually had more autonomy as a resident
  • 00:04:27
    than a fellow just because the
  • 00:04:29
    attendings were very Hands-On in my
  • 00:04:31
    fellowship which is a good thing it's
  • 00:04:33
    not a bad thing but I don't think that
  • 00:04:35
    if I hadn't had any confidence building
  • 00:04:37
    in as a resident I would have obtained
  • 00:04:39
    that as a fellow so don't only Bank on
  • 00:04:41
    doing that as a fellow make sure you
  • 00:04:43
    have a way to learn how to be a
  • 00:04:44
    radiologist in your residency CU that's
  • 00:04:47
    really what it's for and on the off CH
  • 00:04:49
    that you don't even do a fellowship
  • 00:04:51
    which you should do a fellowship but if
  • 00:04:52
    you don't do a fellowship then you're
  • 00:04:54
    never going to have that confidence so
  • 00:04:56
    yes definitely learn definitely ask
  • 00:04:58
    about how you learn to be autonomous
  • 00:05:00
    independent confident as a resident and
  • 00:05:02
    what are the Avenues to do so this part
  • 00:05:04
    will definitely depend on what your
  • 00:05:06
    interests are but you should ask about
  • 00:05:08
    any opportunities that exist outside of
  • 00:05:09
    just the Radiology residency to get
  • 00:05:11
    involved with the hospital so sometimes
  • 00:05:13
    hospitals have like a gme committee
  • 00:05:15
    they'll have a quality improvement
  • 00:05:16
    committee maybe they're doing projects
  • 00:05:18
    at the hospital level that you know
  • 00:05:20
    Radiology doesn't often have a seat at
  • 00:05:21
    the table but why not we should have a
  • 00:05:23
    seat at the table we're such a big part
  • 00:05:24
    of patient care so ask about these
  • 00:05:27
    things you know you should ask about
  • 00:05:28
    getting involved GL Health initiatives
  • 00:05:30
    if you're interested in that type of
  • 00:05:32
    thing see what opportunities exist and
  • 00:05:34
    then also ask if these opportunities
  • 00:05:36
    don't exist is there a way to create
  • 00:05:37
    them because sometimes you do have a
  • 00:05:39
    niche interest and you want to explore
  • 00:05:41
    it and maybe programs have not had
  • 00:05:43
    somebody that's interested in that
  • 00:05:44
    already they didn't have someone that
  • 00:05:46
    was so interested in international
  • 00:05:47
    Outreach that they had a rage chapter
  • 00:05:49
    but maybe you could create that for them
  • 00:05:51
    and so learning even just asking these
  • 00:05:53
    questions will tell you how receptive
  • 00:05:55
    the program is to a resident that wants
  • 00:05:57
    to do something and what the Avenues are
  • 00:05:59
    to achieve those goals this brings me to
  • 00:06:01
    my next point which is how does the
  • 00:06:02
    program react to feedback from residents
  • 00:06:06
    so if the residents don't like something
  • 00:06:07
    about the program and they tell the
  • 00:06:09
    program director does the program
  • 00:06:11
    actually respond to that or do they just
  • 00:06:12
    say like well you know suck it up this
  • 00:06:14
    is how it's always been done this is how
  • 00:06:15
    it's always going to be done and we've
  • 00:06:16
    always been successful and we always
  • 00:06:18
    recruit good residents and blah blah
  • 00:06:20
    blah the end most of the time I think
  • 00:06:22
    most programs are very receptive to
  • 00:06:25
    resident feedback however not always and
  • 00:06:27
    I would ask again both faculty members
  • 00:06:29
    about this and I would also ask
  • 00:06:31
    residents because I'm sure that the
  • 00:06:32
    residents like I said have their pain
  • 00:06:34
    points that they all complain to each
  • 00:06:35
    other about and I'm sure I'm sure that
  • 00:06:38
    they have brought it to the program
  • 00:06:39
    director before and if they have what
  • 00:06:41
    has been done about it so you should ask
  • 00:06:44
    that question to see what your
  • 00:06:45
    experience would be like if you want to
  • 00:06:46
    improve the program or if there's
  • 00:06:48
    something that everyone is complaining
  • 00:06:49
    about and that has not improved over so
  • 00:06:51
    many years what does that say about the
  • 00:06:53
    program right so again just some insight
  • 00:06:55
    into what the program looks like
  • 00:06:57
    speaking of changing the program and
  • 00:06:59
    really interesting question to ask is
  • 00:07:01
    what big changes are on the horizon for
  • 00:07:03
    the program and now there are a lot of
  • 00:07:04
    changes that could potentially affect
  • 00:07:06
    you as a resident big things that I can
  • 00:07:08
    think of right off the top of my head
  • 00:07:10
    would be chairman change that always
  • 00:07:13
    creates some sort of like curfuffle
  • 00:07:15
    within the department um program
  • 00:07:17
    director change that can also create
  • 00:07:19
    some good or bad changes within the
  • 00:07:21
    Residency program adding an esir spot
  • 00:07:24
    getting rid of an esir spot getting rid
  • 00:07:26
    of an IR spot adding an IR spot um
  • 00:07:29
    getting rid of their IR residency like
  • 00:07:31
    the 2-year residency that has been sort
  • 00:07:33
    of a thing that people are talking about
  • 00:07:34
    recently because all of these things
  • 00:07:37
    will change your experience in the sense
  • 00:07:39
    that you might have to take more call
  • 00:07:41
    less call more people sharing one work
  • 00:07:43
    list less people sharing one work list
  • 00:07:46
    um if you are someone interested in IR
  • 00:07:48
    any of those changes will probably
  • 00:07:49
    affect you in some way oh yeah a big
  • 00:07:52
    change that's coming up that will affect
  • 00:07:54
    you is the IR not the IR the oral boards
  • 00:07:57
    and how our programs going to start
  • 00:08:00
    helping you prepare for those because
  • 00:08:02
    that's a totally Whole New World there
  • 00:08:05
    um you should ask about that in fact if
  • 00:08:07
    you haven't asked about it already at
  • 00:08:08
    your interviews you should be asking
  • 00:08:10
    that from now on because this is a big
  • 00:08:12
    thing that used to exist didn't exist
  • 00:08:14
    for a while now it's going to be
  • 00:08:15
    existing again and it's always
  • 00:08:18
    interesting the first go around about
  • 00:08:20
    how you know how programs are going to
  • 00:08:22
    train their residents to pass these
  • 00:08:23
    exams so yes definitely ask about the
  • 00:08:25
    oral boards because that's a big change
  • 00:08:27
    coming to Radiology um Radiology boards
  • 00:08:30
    and so you definitely want to be
  • 00:08:31
    prepared for that that leads me very
  • 00:08:33
    nicely into my next question which is
  • 00:08:35
    not just the oral boards but how does
  • 00:08:37
    the program um prepare their residents
  • 00:08:39
    for the core exam the core exam is
  • 00:08:42
    really hard you guys like I I don't know
  • 00:08:44
    how to tell you it's like a really hard
  • 00:08:45
    test
  • 00:08:47
    and a lot of programs tout a 100% pass
  • 00:08:50
    rate and that's incredible like very
  • 00:08:52
    amazing but there's you don't know where
  • 00:08:56
    you're going to fall into that right
  • 00:08:57
    like we you never know if you're going
  • 00:09:00
    to be the first person to fail or not
  • 00:09:01
    you don't know that I mean when I took
  • 00:09:04
    the test I was like this is a really
  • 00:09:06
    hard like I studied so much I studied so
  • 00:09:09
    much for that test and I still didn't
  • 00:09:11
    feel like going into the test like oh
  • 00:09:13
    yeah I'm going to ace this exam it's
  • 00:09:14
    like a step exam there's just so much
  • 00:09:16
    information to know it's incredible and
  • 00:09:19
    you have to know physics and you have to
  • 00:09:20
    know all of your modality you have know
  • 00:09:22
    you have to know everything about
  • 00:09:23
    radiology and they will ask you the most
  • 00:09:25
    obscure stuff and you still have to know
  • 00:09:27
    that and if programs are not going to
  • 00:09:29
    give you time to study then that's a big
  • 00:09:31
    red flag in my opinion per acgm rules
  • 00:09:35
    you're not allowed to have official time
  • 00:09:37
    off to study okay but programs will
  • 00:09:40
    still generally Place their residents on
  • 00:09:42
    lighter rotations this is allowed this
  • 00:09:44
    is not like breaking any rules they will
  • 00:09:46
    take you out of the call pool because
  • 00:09:48
    who wants to be studying after being on
  • 00:09:50
    call like it's just not possible and
  • 00:09:52
    they will obviously do internal board
  • 00:09:54
    reviews they will often I won't say
  • 00:09:55
    obviously they will often do internal
  • 00:09:57
    board reviews and they should be doing
  • 00:09:58
    internal board riew
  • 00:10:00
    that the faculty give um to make sure
  • 00:10:03
    that you are ready to take the exam so I
  • 00:10:05
    think it's very important that you ask
  • 00:10:07
    how much time that you get to study and
  • 00:10:10
    when I say time to study I mean like you
  • 00:10:12
    know how long are you on these lighter
  • 00:10:13
    rotations out of the call pole is it
  • 00:10:15
    just a month before is it three months
  • 00:10:17
    before um things like that because you
  • 00:10:20
    really want to make sure that you are
  • 00:10:21
    well prepared and you can ask the senior
  • 00:10:22
    residents if they felt like they were
  • 00:10:24
    prepared for the exam
  • 00:10:26
    because I felt like when I took the exam
  • 00:10:29
    like I said you're never going to feel
  • 00:10:30
    100% prepared but I felt like I was able
  • 00:10:34
    to study as much as I wanted to study I
  • 00:10:36
    felt like my program prepared me really
  • 00:10:38
    well my program had did so many board
  • 00:10:40
    reviews all the time like so many board
  • 00:10:42
    reviews it was amazing and I'm super
  • 00:10:45
    grateful because I think that's the
  • 00:10:46
    reason why I passed the test um they
  • 00:10:48
    just really prepared us very well so
  • 00:10:52
    yeah make sure you ask about the core
  • 00:10:53
    exam again officially can't take time
  • 00:10:55
    off obviously but there are ways that
  • 00:10:58
    programs will still prepare you give you
  • 00:11:01
    materials and um just make sure that
  • 00:11:04
    you're ready and that similar thing
  • 00:11:05
    should really that question should be
  • 00:11:07
    applied for the oral boards now the oral
  • 00:11:09
    boards will happen after the core exam
  • 00:11:10
    so The Residency program may not have
  • 00:11:12
    like time obviously for you to study for
  • 00:11:14
    that but they should at least start
  • 00:11:15
    incorporating ways for you to feel
  • 00:11:17
    confident about the oral boards I hope
  • 00:11:20
    that they are at least they should be
  • 00:11:22
    something that gets overlooked by
  • 00:11:23
    residents all the time is learning about
  • 00:11:24
    the business of radiology the reason why
  • 00:11:27
    this is overlooked is because most
  • 00:11:28
    programs are academic places with
  • 00:11:31
    academic Radiologists and that's amazing
  • 00:11:33
    that's where you're going to see complex
  • 00:11:34
    cases that's where you're going to see
  • 00:11:36
    all sorts of crazy stuff because
  • 00:11:37
    everyone's getting transferred in
  • 00:11:39
    however there's a good chance that you
  • 00:11:41
    are going to end up in private practice
  • 00:11:43
    because more than half of the
  • 00:11:44
    Radiologists in the US are in private
  • 00:11:46
    practice now it's important to know the
  • 00:11:48
    business side of radiology because you
  • 00:11:50
    want to know how you're going to get
  • 00:11:52
    paid in the future you want to know what
  • 00:11:55
    big changes are coming to Radiology as
  • 00:11:57
    we face like this crisis of radi ology
  • 00:11:59
    shortage and how are people recruiting
  • 00:12:02
    and are you getting paid enough for the
  • 00:12:04
    work that you're going to do you don't
  • 00:12:06
    want to be in a position where you don't
  • 00:12:07
    even know if what you're getting paid is
  • 00:12:09
    fair or not fair for the work that
  • 00:12:11
    you're doing and that's true in
  • 00:12:13
    academics too academics in general gets
  • 00:12:15
    paid less than private practice and as
  • 00:12:19
    the volume in Radiology in general
  • 00:12:21
    including academic centers is rising
  • 00:12:23
    that pay differential doesn't really
  • 00:12:25
    make that much sense because if you're
  • 00:12:26
    getting paid the same for each study
  • 00:12:29
    then like if the hospital is getting
  • 00:12:31
    paid the same is my point then there's
  • 00:12:33
    no reason why one person shouldn't be
  • 00:12:35
    getting paid the same as the other my
  • 00:12:36
    point in all of this is that no one is
  • 00:12:37
    going to teach you these things unless
  • 00:12:39
    you actually ask unless you find out
  • 00:12:41
    about it until you do these things on
  • 00:12:42
    your own and you don't want to be stuck
  • 00:12:45
    looking at your first contract or
  • 00:12:47
    learning about these things for the
  • 00:12:48
    first time when you're negotiating your
  • 00:12:50
    first contract if you are in academics
  • 00:12:52
    or private practice so residency is a
  • 00:12:55
    great time to learn about these things
  • 00:12:56
    to ask these questions to all the
  • 00:12:58
    Radiologists around you that want to
  • 00:12:59
    teach you and yeah and you can also see
  • 00:13:02
    if there are like committees or things
  • 00:13:04
    that you can get involved with in your
  • 00:13:05
    hospital that sort of learn about the
  • 00:13:07
    economics and business side of radiology
  • 00:13:09
    because there's so much that goes into
  • 00:13:10
    it that you don't even think about
  • 00:13:11
    billing Hospital fees contract like
  • 00:13:14
    Hospital negotiations Hospital contracts
  • 00:13:17
    there's just so much that goes into that
  • 00:13:19
    side of it and clearly I don't even know
  • 00:13:20
    that much about it and I wish I knew
  • 00:13:22
    more but residency is a great time to
  • 00:13:24
    learn because you have all these
  • 00:13:25
    resources at your fingertips so I would
  • 00:13:27
    do that if I were you last question
  • 00:13:29
    question we're finally there and this is
  • 00:13:31
    more just like a out of Interest
  • 00:13:33
    question also but you know who does the
  • 00:13:35
    tumor boards are there interdisciplinary
  • 00:13:36
    conferences that residents are expected
  • 00:13:38
    to attend or run or go to who runs them
  • 00:13:41
    fellows residents attendings who attends
  • 00:13:44
    them if you have backup what does your
  • 00:13:46
    backup look like if they ask you a hard
  • 00:13:47
    question because trust me in tumor board
  • 00:13:50
    I feel like is where the surgeons really
  • 00:13:52
    come out and they are like asking you
  • 00:13:54
    all these questions that you think you
  • 00:13:56
    know the cases inside and out and then
  • 00:13:57
    they ask you something and oh no now I'm
  • 00:13:59
    not so confident tumor board is a great
  • 00:14:01
    way to be more confident with these
  • 00:14:04
    things um you can ask if there's a tumor
  • 00:14:06
    board for like you know for hepatobilary
  • 00:14:10
    breast uh chest like who's running all
  • 00:14:13
    of these are they all separate do they
  • 00:14:14
    have one big one together do Internal
  • 00:14:16
    Medicine residents present do you have
  • 00:14:18
    conferences with internal medicine
  • 00:14:19
    because there's so much overlap like
  • 00:14:21
    screening guidelines CT colonography
  • 00:14:24
    screening mammograms lung cancer
  • 00:14:26
    screening CT these are all things that
  • 00:14:28
    medicine people should also learn about
  • 00:14:30
    and then they can tell us about their
  • 00:14:32
    like oh well do I order it for a patient
  • 00:14:33
    that has a 10 pack your smoking history
  • 00:14:36
    and then you can like educate each other
  • 00:14:37
    right on the indications and what this
  • 00:14:40
    scan really means and how much the dose
  • 00:14:42
    is because that's a lot of the concerns
  • 00:14:44
    from the um ordering providers is about
  • 00:14:47
    dose of mamography dose of lung cancer
  • 00:14:49
    screening dose of CT colonography and
  • 00:14:51
    it's just there's so many ways that you
  • 00:14:53
    can collaborate with the people around
  • 00:14:55
    you and it's nice to be able to get kind
  • 00:14:57
    of get that experience as a resident and
  • 00:15:00
    then also you know when you go into
  • 00:15:02
    practice you will be collaborating with
  • 00:15:04
    your surgeons and the people that are
  • 00:15:06
    sending you patients because that's just
  • 00:15:08
    how Radiology works we really don't work
  • 00:15:10
    in a silo we talk to all these people
  • 00:15:12
    and so it's nice to start to do that as
  • 00:15:14
    a resident too
  • 00:15:16
    so okay we recorded this video we got it
  • 00:15:19
    done I hope that this was
  • 00:15:22
    helpful I'm still like I can't believe I
  • 00:15:24
    did all of that twice but I hope that
  • 00:15:26
    this was helpful if nothing else it'll
  • 00:15:27
    give you some questions to ask in those
  • 00:15:29
    awkward awkward silence moments where
  • 00:15:32
    you're like I really don't have any more
  • 00:15:33
    questions but all of these things I
  • 00:15:35
    can't think not just at face value what
  • 00:15:38
    they tell you but you can start to learn
  • 00:15:40
    and read between the lines of what
  • 00:15:42
    residents are saying at different
  • 00:15:43
    programs how they are answering your
  • 00:15:45
    questions you'll start to figure out a
  • 00:15:47
    little bit about how each program runs
  • 00:15:49
    and how it works and if residents are
  • 00:15:51
    generally happy so I think this will
  • 00:15:54
    officially close out my residency
  • 00:15:56
    interview series I hope that this was
  • 00:15:59
    helpful I wish you the best of luck
  • 00:16:00
    you're going to be fine Radiology is the
  • 00:16:02
    best congrats on choosing the best field
  • 00:16:04
    I will see you in the next video bye
