Dear Sheriff, I just finished my last interview – and now I’m freaking out. The more I think about what makes each program different, the more I feel unsure what should take priority, a…

Given the added stress of vInterviews for our applicants, why not open the interview scheduling platform at a predetermined time/day?
Hey M4s, something that was helpful for me during interview season was to setup forwarding alerts from my email to phone for any interview-related emails. I had this alert able to go off even when my phone was on silent. This was helpful for signing up for interviews quickly. 1/4

How many times will educators find a correlation between one MCQ test and another MCQ test?
Great team strikes again. This might be reassuring for some rad residents: "Only 2 of 229 residents with R3 DXIT score >= 50th percentile failed the Core exam" https://t.co/fyJ9ZfDFrV

American medicine has a new operating reality where “doing what‘s best for the patient” has a competing imperative: doing what’s best for shareholders investors. Professionalism codes taught in medical schools butt up against fiduciary responsibility taught in business schools.

Wholeheartedly agree. Please amplify.
This year - let’s lay off the intern shaming jokes. These are colleagues with 8 years of post secondary education. Graphic as a reminder of what it takes to make it to intern year!

Contrary to common advice, med students can in fact envision a career in multiple specialties. So to level out the perceived "competitiveness" you must level out the pay gap and/or offer specialty-specific recoupment of opportunity costs. Step 1 was never the bad guy.
On the June 4th @Plenary_Session I guessed that 60% of the variability in specialty competitiveness (using surrogate of mean entry step 1 score) could be explained by the $ per hour @audreyamadean Glad @jbcarmody was listening to email me to correct me The answer is 66%!!

Requiring a thorough history in order to place an imaging order is in the same vein.

Dirty little secret. #followthemoney
I started rad residency in 1993, & since then, radiologists complain about not having proper history. Fact is any Radiology dept can design a system to gather history from the patient and medical record. But most depts realize- it cost money,time, personnel & CHOOSE not to.

Despite full capabilities to read studies from home, should all #radres be assigned to return to the hospital for work? #newnormal #postpeak @RadChiefs @chenyang_zhan @PaulManningRads
