Hi,
I'm interested in radiology b/c I like technology and the interaction with different medical fields. However, during my medicine and surgery clerkships, I was not that great at interpreting X-rays and CT's.
Is it fair to say that anyone can learn to become a good radiologists by working at it (reading enough, practicing with enough images)? Or, has it been anyone's experience that there are some people who just don't have it in them to be a competent radiologist?
In other words, are the skills of a radiologist learned or innate?
Thanks.
