Long time lurker here and now I am in serious need of help from the senior radiology community. I've read so much about prestige and academic vs. private practice careers that I think I am psyching myself out. Especially after talking to MS4s.
So here is me: I am a MS4 who is going into diagnostic radiology (MSK or Breast) and really do not know if I want to go into academics or private practice. If I go into academics, its for the teaching and not for research. I am also tied between two geographic locations: New England and Texas. Cost of living is important to me as well and I will be newly married (couples matching).
I am trying to make my rank list and I have almost had it with this process and just want to stop thinking about it.
My programs that I liked based on the one day I was there are the following: UTSW (no commute), MGH, BWH, BID (45 min commute by train 1 way at all three), Brown (no commute), UT Houston (no commute)
Other places that I thought were cool but iffy about moving to: Hopkins, Stanford
I am going insane making this list and I feel like between these programs, I am pulling hairs.
HELP!
