Hi,
I'm currently a M3 and Army HPSP at a MD school who's going into radiology. I've already set up my away rotation at SAMMC for summer 2016, but I'm wondering what an away in radiology looks like. It's not like IM where I'll be carrying patients and giving reports during rounds. Will they even know I'm there, or will I be constantly sitting behind someone in the dark room as they dictate? I hope that they would at least have me do a research presentation.
On a related note, what is the best way for me to prepare as a student going into radiology? I'm assuming anatomy and knowing structures are important, but should I know how to read XR/CT/MRI as a M4? Will they expect me to know how to dictate an image during an away rotation?
Thank you in advance.
