Hi Dr Amar
I’m currently a second year resident in radiology at a government hospital. We have heavy workload here. My first year was spent in just slogging for long hours with no time for reading at all. Now in second year I’m overwhelmed by the syllabus and don’t really know where to start reading from. Please guide me regarding the same. Thank you.


Dear Dr. XYZ

Thank you for your question.
Congratulations for making it through first year.
A heavy work load is a good thing. More cases you see more radiology you learn.
I am sure its hectic but it's good to in a government college with lots of cases rather than having very few cases.
Don't worry about reading the text part of it. Trust me you can cover it in the last year or even the last three months.
What you won't get is exposure to cases so spend as much time in the department as possible.
Read about what cases you see routinely during your practice
Try to find that one senior who is interested in teaching and learning.
Avoid reading online articles and spotters at this stage.
Start with basic books.
Rumack for ultrasound.
Sutton for general radiology.
Abrahms atlas for Anatomy
Have ebooks or diagnostic imaging series in your library so that you can refer to them whenever you get a case.
Reiterating again. Don't be bogled down by the work you are doing.

Everything you do in the department is going to help you to be a better radiologist which is the ultimate goal!

You are lucky to busy.
If you have any further question feel free to ask me.

Best of luck.

Good morning
My name is Dr. MNO

I'm a 2nd year resident studying in a private college with a fairly relaxed work load with not many cases and very minimal academics , and Yet I feel like I wasted my first year as I have not read much of the syllabus and basics. Now i feel like I'm never going to be able to cope up. And now we would be going for peripheral postings where I'm sure it would be academically demanding. I feel I would be lost in that scenario.
Kindly advise as to what I should do. Is is possible for me to be at par with others by the end of my pg course.
Eagerly waiting for your input


Dear Dr. MNO


It’s very good that you have realised this early.
Don’t worry about the past and abt the time you wasted

Private college with less workload is always a good one because I have been a part of it

Less work load -

So u get see few cases , hence I suggest u to read abt the case what u regularly see in ur postings
For example - a case of cholecystitis -
Read about anatomy of gall bladder , variants , anomalies , cholelithiasis , other diseased conditions and Carcinoma in a day or two

You are done if u have covered these when you encounter a case like this

Similar way apply these headings to all the cases what u see in your postings

One suggestion is read read read TEXTBOOKS not the journals

Journals lack the basics and approach

There is a lot of time you can put in
Schedule a timetable for yourself and interact with close frnd or colleague of yours which will retain better if you study together

Don’t worry abt the time
Just follow the simple method I have suggested above u will be a confident Radiologist at the end of ur course

All the best 👍@DrVenki_rad (Dr Venkatesh M)
Make sure you follow is his radiology channel 'Shades of Radiology' on YouTube for radiology case discussions.

Hello sir
I am a resident of DMRE in a good institution. I got my seat through merit quota,not management. My institute also has dnb seat. The dnb resident and i do the same work, read the same things, i am also better at some things than him, but there seems to be a lot of bias against dmre. Sir, is there any career scope for dmre or am i just wasting my time? Sometimes i get depressed. Kindly guide me if there is anything else i can do after i finish my course.

Dear Dr GHI

Glad that you asked this question. Answering your first question, there is lot of scope for DMRE and you are not definitely wasting your time. You have to understand your limitations and excel in those. The chances of you being hired as a cross sectional (CT/MRI) radiologist are low. But you can always practice conventional radiology and Ultrasound. Also it may be difficult to practice in Tier one ciities like Mumbai.

Ultrasound is the bread and butter for all radiologists practicing in India. I have DMRE colleagues who are doing amazing work and earn more than their MD / DNB counterparts. Owing to the large population there will always be a scarcity of doctors in India so do not worry. You will definitely do well.
Whle you are doing your course and even after you are done, try to excel in what you do. A degree is like a trailer to a movie. A good trailer may get people in the theaters but for people to stay throughout the movie needs to be worth it. If you do good work , clinicians will value you and you will excel in your field. Because the degree is not considered at par with MD and DNB you may have to face initial resistance and discrimination (as you are doing currnetly). But do not get disheartened by that. Put in hardwork and prove that you are worth it.

On a side note
There are a few radiology residents who are under the guilt of paid / management seat. It is definitely not fair for meritorious candidates but at the same time it is not your fault, the education system itself is flawed. Do not waste your time and energy in being guilty or depressed. Put in hardwork and make yourself worthy of your seat. Thats the best that you can do.

I see a lot of radiology residents and even senior radiologists criticizing colleagues with other degrees (like MD vs DNB , MD vs DMRD, DMRE vs MD). I would like to say that in the long run the only thing that matters is your work. As long as you are answering clinicans questions they will be happy with you irrespective of your degree. Also there is no point in critizing another person or his degree. You cannot rise up by pushing others down. In fact all this ill-mouthing is not going to lead to anything. Instead of that invest your valuable time and hardwork into being a better radiologist.

PS: DMRE is a diploma degree which is recognised in a few states in India. It stands for Diploma in Medical Radiology and Electrology

Dear Final FRCR Part B Rolling Application List Candidate

 

The RCR has a project underway to allow us to permanently increase the number of places available at the FRCR 2B clinical radiology examinations.

 

In the short term we are looking at options for additional exams. It would help us with our planning if you could complete the very short survey questions here

 

FRCR 2B Clinical Radiology Exams Locations Survey

 

Best wishes

Updated latest webinar
https://radiogyan.com/videos/cardiothoracic-radiology-cases/
I highly recommended these podcasts. Why?
- Great cardiothoracic radiology cases
- Detailed workup of cases including chest radiographs
- Discussed by experts in cardiothoracic imaging.
- Real world cases with DICOM sets of images rather than single images
Currently, we have more than 100 videos with each video is more than 1 hour long!
