There are many ways to make a Rads career more patient centered, mammo, women's health, IR, ultrasound, nuclear medicine. Keep in mind that practice models at your centre may not be the only ones, and there may be one that fits you better. If you can get through a radiology residency, you could...

I dropped out of an MD-PhD program before starting the research component in my second year, and just matched to Rads (in Canada). Although my deans letter indicated the program switch, no one commented on this during my interviews. Some programs I didn't interview at may have read between the...
