Why I Became a Radiologist
I entered medical school focused on becoming an oncologist, influenced by my years of lab research on the subject and my desire to make a positive impact in the lives of others, helping patients through what may be the most challenging times of their lives. During my rotations however I was often emotionally affected by patient outcomes and found the specialty of Radiology to be a much better fit for my sentimental temperament, offering me a way to contribute more meaningfully to patient care. In residency, Body Imaging piqued my interest from the start and during my time as an academic radiologist the Liver and Kidneys became further favorites of mine.
