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

Review of orthopaedic hardware on radiographs.

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!

These webinars are conducted by the same Dr. Jeffery Kanne who is part of a mini-chest fellowship course to be held in India.
The charges for that course are approx 25000 INR.

I will be taking a break from social media teaching for a few days. After that we are going to introduce something more fruitful for all those who are willing to put the hard work. It will be an exclusive group.
Until then, keep sharing and keep learning 🙂

“Hi sir
I have completed my MD recently
And I studied from a below par level college
Where cases were not much and there was less staff too
And now I got a offer from XYZ hospital for intervention radiology
But problem is there is very less chance for hands on

So shall I join intervention and later work in govt hospital for hands on ?
Sir please help me out”

Dear Dr PQR

There are multiple answers for your questions and to be honest all are correct.

The option you chose has to be based on your personal attributes, passion, financial and family condition.

Chose interventional Radiology, if you are really interested or passionate about it.

There are many diagnostic centres and Hospitals in North India esp Punjab & Haryana which offer good salary upto 4 Lacs per month😊. Joining a government medical college or a diagnostic centre with multiple radiologists can be a good option if you want to brighten up your confidence and reporting skills.

As said earlier, none of the options are incorrect. The decision is largely based on your concerns and family situation.

If you are interested you can also join some short term courses in fetal echo or musculoskeletal radiology, if they suit your interest.

Also you should seek opinion of your seniors and Radilologists from the centre which you are planning to join for intervention regarding the quality of training and ability to perform independent procedures at the end to the course. Aim should be to Gain adequate Competence as a practitioner. That depends much on your dedication and ability to grasp the concept and skills.😇

Answered by

Dr Satyendra Raghuwanshi😇. Make sure you follow his YouTube channel Prayas Radiology for radiology related videos.

My addition to the above.
Interventional radiology has a steep learning curve. It's similar to any other survival branch so you need to have that kind of interest.
You should also be ready to invest at least 2 to 3 years if you want to practice dedicated IR.
Also most interventional radiology centers are in tier one and two cities. In tier 2 cities you may have to hop from one hospital to another for cases.
Advantage is that there is a lot of patient contact. You play a crucial role in patient management so it is very satisfying as a clinician.

So there are pros and cons. Talk to senior Radiologists around you and a the Hospital and decide.

Hope that helps.
