I am currently a PGY -1 categorical resident at a well known top tier gen surg program several hours away from my hometown. Due to personal/family reasons I have considered pursuing a spot back home in radiology. Much to my surprise a spot became available in radiology (a field the I considered pursuing before choosing surgery). I still enjoy being in the OR but I am afraid that the demanding hours may not permit me to have the family life that I desire. My only concerns are as follows:
1. Is the radiology job situation going to be a persistent problem or is the field going to bounce back?
2. Is there a role for an independent practice in radiology at all? IR? NIR?
3. In the future will surgery provide more security and autonomy?
Thx!
