I posted this in the AMA but I figured more potentially helpful eyes would see it here as it's own thread...
- I am an MS1 very interested in radiology, and I have a few questions that I was hoping some people on here might be able to answer.
From my research on SDN it seems that most DR residencies have a typical day of morning conference 7-8, reading from 8-12, 12-1 lunch didactic, 1-5/6 reading.
During those reading times, are they broken up by leaving the reading room to do procedures? How many procedures does an average resident do per week? I'm sure this varies from program to program and the rotation you're on but any insight would help.
If you had to give a ratio of time spent reading / time spent doing procedures what would you say that is? 80/20? 70/30?
Since I am interested in doing procedures/seeing patients on occasion would it be best for me to look into IR residency/fellowship which would lead to dual board certification so I can split my practice into some days spent reading other days spent in clinic?
Thanks so much!
