I am an R1 who is growing very concerned about the education I'm receiving. We are an extremely busy residency, so busy that we do not do readouts and education is very sparse in the reading room. Basically there are maybe 4 attendings in the entire program that will read out with you. Right now every resident is purely looking at their dictation revisions to learn what they got wrong and how they can improve. Sometimes we are told what we got wrong unsolicited but nothing really more. We all really have to pry to get feedback/teaching. Education has taken a serious back burner since COVID here, apparently.
With my 300k of loans on the line I've been increasingly distressed that I'll be any good when I leave here. This program has about a 90-95% boards pass rate but when talking to the upper levels, the education wasn't always this subpar.
I've got a few questions for everyone. Does any one have any experience with programs like this? Is a program like this even capable of consistently producing good radiologists? Lastly, what can I even do? The program is aware but doesn't seem like they plan on doing anything about improving our education.
