Hello everyone! My name is Tameka and I am new to this forum. I just wanted to say that I am one semester away from getting into the Radiology program. I am excited and nervous. Can anyone tell me what to expect during the program. I feel like I will not know anything they will be talking about and I just need more insight about having a radiology career. So if any radiology graduates can give me insight, that would be great. How is the environment, pay, hours, and what is the best field in radiology to branch off in. Thanks and I hope to hear from everyone.🙂

Are you talking about a Radiology residency after getting ur MD?? It sounds like you're talking about a radiology tech program. They are very different.
 
I am currently in college pursuing my associates degree in Radiology. What is Radiology Residency? 😕

Poor thing. I'll chime in for pity's sake, before someone gets banned...


Tameka, what you're talking about is radiography not radiology. There is no such thing as an associate degree in radiology.

Radiology is a medical specialty that requires, at the minimum, 4 years of medical school, 1 year of internship, and 4 years of residency. It also means taking no less than 6 licensing and certification examinations. Throw in college and the MCAT, and we're talking about a 13 year course and 7 standardized examinations. To subspecialize further, most fellowships tack on an extra year of training on top of all that.

So, even though it is a commonly held misconception, you can see why we don't like it when people confuse radiography with radiology.
 
best thread ever... and nice font choice too! :laugh:
 
Good to know some of the the future doctors aren't arrogant jerks at all.

I have been reading ApacheIndian's post, I would just brush him off as an "internet badass" if I were you.
