Hello everyone! I’m a radiologist who has been accepted into an alternate pathway radiology fellowship program, which I’m absolutely thrilled about. I plan on doing four fellowships total, and two of those will definitely be Emergency Radiology and Body Imaging, since I see myself primarily practicing those subspecialties in the future. However, I’m somewhat stuck on my remaining two choices. My main confusion lies between Cardiothoracic Radiology and Body MRI—specifically, which pairing (Body Imaging + Cardiothoracic versus Body Imaging + Body MRI) would be most beneficial in both academic and private practice settings. I really enjoy the ILD-focused aspects of Cardiothoracic Radiology, but Body MRI and the chance of contributing to various tumor boards also seem compelling.
Another aspect of my dilemma is choosing between Neuroradiology and Pediatric Radiology to fulfill my ACGME requirement, I loved Neuroradiology during residency and feel pretty comfortable with basic neuro, but I don't really see myself practising as a neuroradiologist in the future and I have almost no experience in Pediatric Radiology (my residency program didn’t have a dedicated pediatric rotation). So I would be grateful if anyone trained in pediatric radiology could shed some insight into the Pediatric Radiology fellowship.
I’d truly appreciate any insights or advice on these fellowship combinations, especially from those who’ve gone through similar pathways or have experience in practicing multiple subspecialties. Thank you in advance!
