I'm a third year student, any resources you recommend to practice reading MRIs and XRays. For MRIs I particularly have trouble with the shoulder.

Experience. The more you see, the more you know what is normal or not.
There is also a book called "Diagnostic musculoskeletal imaging" by Miller and Schweitzer.
Your profile says you are pre-med though... why are you reading MRIs and Xrays?

That's a good question, I'm not sure why it says I'm a pre-med. Don't see an option to change it either

Keep looking over time. For MRI, attendings are usually happy if you can identify the major structures (muscles, tendons, bone bruises, menisci)
