Body vs Neuro
R2/rising R3 here really struggling with the decision between the two. I’m truly 50/50.
Ideal job would be in private practice being able to read some of everything in addition to the complex cases in my subspecialty. I am also entertaining the thought of 1-on-2-off or night shift/ED job as I’ve found I really enjoy the cases in the ED.
I thought I’d list some of the pro’s and con’s I can think of and hope that you guys can provide your input or let me know if I’m just completely off base...

Best specialties for people with ASD?
Hi everyone! Currently thinking about specialties as an incoming M1 and I've been trying to look on forums to see which specialties tend to be accommodating for people with ASD. However, most specialties people tend to bring up don't involve patient interaction, like anesthesiology or radiology. I typically enjoy patient interaction and being around people but have poor experience with social cues and settling into a normal conversational tone. Are there any specialties that are suitable for...

Board Vitals for Core
Hi All
Currently prepping for Core about 6 weeks to go
On Board Vitals, am averaging low 70s. I would think this would be decent to pass but it's saying it is low percentile (like 12th?) The software otherwise says this is "on track". My lowest scores are in physics and radiation safety, which I hope will be easier to improve....
Reading online/on rad discord, people are saying these may be inaccurate. A few years old data suggested 74% is the average BV score for someone who passed core...

UICOM v. Loyola
Hello! I know it's late to talk about this but since I was fortunate to be accepted by two Illinois schools, UICOM and Loyola, I want to learn some perspectives from everyone! I wish to specialize in Derm, Cardiology, or Radiology in the future. Which school will be a better fit? I enjoyed my interview days at each school and everyone seems to be very cool during my second look visits. The caveat is I was assigned to the Peoria campus for UICOM whereas Loyola would be in Maywood/Chicago. I...

Missed fracture: question for attendings
Let’s say you missed a nondisplaced and your rib fracture on a rib series 6 months ago. You noticed the mistake. Do you make an addendum to the report and let the ordering Doc or Pcp know? Do you make it an addendum and not tell anyone? Or do you just let it be? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Integrated IR Residency Experience
I'm an M3 interested in IR, especially in a clinic-based practice resembling a surgical subspecialty, and curious about what the integrated IR residency experience is like. (1) Does it resemble more so a DR or a surgical residency, or is it something else entirely? (2) Do you feel more prepared for practicing IR as a clinician or as a pure proceduralist? (3) What does a representative week look like in terms of hours and call obligations? (4) What do you enjoy most and least about it? (5) Do...

Anyone who loved physiology, pharmacology, labs, ekgs, etc that went into radiology anyway?
Soon to be MS4 applying to residency in September. I’ve had a rough time figuring out my specialty but at this point I’ve narrowed it down to IM + subspecialty or radiology I think.
I’ve posted before but I really like the knowledge base of IM, but I kinda hate the day to day of it.
Without writing a personal statement I started gaining interest in radiology during my clinical year (second year for my school). It started with looking at the imaging of some of my patients and then evolved...

Competitiveness of Radiology Fellowships
Current R2 rads resident in the Mountain region. Originally from California and hope to go back longterm cause of family. Interested in pursuing either neuro or MSK fellowships and eventually PP. What's the best thing I can do to set myself up well to match back home for fellowship? Is it as competitive to get into fellowships in California as it is to get into residency there? Thanks!

Delay Core Exam
I am going to be taking the core exam in the first week of June. I am thinking about delaying it because I honestly do not think I am going to pass it at this point. I am still going through Crack the Core review books and there is honestly just too much information to memorize. I wish I had started studying a little earlier. I just started studying a month ago. I am trying to do Anki flashcards, but there is just so much content.
Any thoughts on delaying the exam? Should I just take it? I...

Jefferson Radiology poor service
Not asking for advice.
My sister had MR shoulder done Tuesday. She got the CD at visit. No official read after 5 days.
That’s crap. What’s wrong with the service line there? She is a physician as well.
Hey Jeff: you stink. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Chillest radiology fellowship programs
For people who have gone through the interview process, what were some programs (and in which subspecialties) that stood out as exceptionally chill? Please save your high-horse "fellowship shouldn't be chill it's a time to learn to handle attending workload" comments, I'm just genuinely curious (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Thoughts on SIR should IR leave DR talk
I heard a lot of people speak on this subject not just at this one form. I listened to multiple people. IR’s have no leverage when they are doing rudimentary IR biopsies and drains. IR has a lot of leverage when they are doing high end cases. When IR is doing, high end cases they make a lot of money for the hospital. I heard someone in PP that IR had disputes with DR over money and they said they were going to leave collectively the group. DR immediately caved in to this thought because they...
