As the title suggests, I am almost 100% sure I want to do private practice. I was told that the reading speed difference between private practice and academics is only increasing and in order to maximize income and have the best shot at making partner it helps to be a fast reader. I am currently deciding whether to rank NYU vs Columbia #1 in order to meet this goal. From what I gathered NYU has more academic and research prestige in the field of radiology but Columbia residents absolutely read more scans (work a bit longer each day, take more call, have less dedicated research time, a little more pressure to read faster). Other than the large salary benefit Columbia has over NYU because of this, will the extra volume actually make me better for private practice? Or does your residency not really influence your reading speed
