Hi all,

IMG here. Passed Step 1 and 2 CK. CS is next week.
Question is, how to get Clinical experience in Radiology? Does Observership count? I did clinical experience in IM but being an IMG, had to pay so much to complete a 4 week rotation.
Any other way to gain this experience? How much Radiology experience do I need apart from having completed a radiology residency in my home country to show PDs here that I am interested in Radiology?
 
Being a lowly MS4 and having no idea what I'm talking about....

I feel like having already completed a radiology residency in your home country is more than enough.
 
I mean I'm assuming you'd need letters in rads for application right? So I'd say atleast 1-2 clinical observerships.
