Does anyone have any thoughts on the DIRECT program for IR? I spoke with some diagnostic rads and they said that it would actually be a hinderance to anyone that wanted to practice in community rads. Personally, I find myself more of an IR person. I'm a big tech/computer guy but also like interacting with pts (not the stereotypical radiologist). I'm struggling with the fact that rads has the stereotype of being in a dark room all day. As an M3, I haven't had much exposure to rad and only spent a day with an IR doc. I thought IR was awesome and I was very much considering the DIRECT program. Any input/thoughts about the program would be helpful, or anyone that can dispel the myth about pt interaction. Thanks.
