Just your run of the mill radiology resident. Opinions, like the brain in my header, are my own.

@Gok Now this is a use case for augmented reality that I can get behind. Whack -a-mogul.

Penn rads does AUR 2022. Best ever chiefs past and present!! Kick ass group! Blessed to be in their world @HenaSara @Deb_TheRadDoc @dtischf @KSpaceforce @celiatong @taylorless

@CLARAmediSUN @KevinCChiang No, Medicare subsidizes residents but they are paid by the hospital, and hospitals almost certainly make money on this deal. HCA (a for profit system) isn't taking residents out of the goodness of their hearts, and the Hahnenann residents went for $55m.

@PennRadRes @futureradres Prospective applicants, I promise my hair is not as gray as it looks in this photo. Residency has not in fact caused me to go gray.

[Neil Chatterjee @KSpaceforce]

@Gok Sounds like medicine. Surely the entire hospital system would have collapsed if I got weekends off as an intern.

[Neil Chatterjee @KSpaceforce]

@ceelwaaq I had that habit too, then my HDD died out of nowhere (back in the 2000s when spinning discs were a thing). Never again

[Neil Chatterjee @KSpaceforce]

@TraumaDramaMD Meme'd it for you

[Neil Chatterjee @KSpaceforce]

@ceelwaaq This is also a low key reminder to backup everything always. If it's not backed up on Dropbox or some equivalent, it might as well not exist

@Gok @axsmithsports @SouthportCor And when I fly into Chicago I'm landing at Orchard Field!

@Gok Depends on the curve. If that was my grade on a physics final, solid B if not A. Vaccination rate though? Z score might be a little too low...

@epi_rad @thats_bone @jbcarmody Have to be very careful in what defines a "good resident". Strongest outcome associations in the paper you cited were ITEs/Step 3/NBME. I don't know that people who historically did well on a standardized test continuing to do well on standardized tests really proves much.

[Neil Chatterjee @KSpaceforce]

@Gok @octernion I really don't understand this incessant need for some people to insist on micromanaging how workers get their work done so long as it keeps getting done

[Neil Chatterjee @KSpaceforce]

@asset25 It's not defined at all! This all seems to be based on a survey that literally asks people if they "use AI", which could mean anything from "yeah, Skynet just dictates everything" to "We have a semi-automated segmentation tool". A survey with a 7% response rate I might add 🙄

@IR_Ethics @CJJonesMD Recommend image guided X... by Dr. Keller... on a Saturday

@Gok @jonmasters Or just have near zero ability to cut the red tape and don't want to waste time and energy fighting what they can't change. Putting up with != agreeing with

[Neil Chatterjee @KSpaceforce]

Can we finally put to bed the notion that residents don’t make money for hospitals? A giant for-profit conglomerate isn’t sponsoring 1/20 US residents out of the goodness of their heart.

[Bryan Carmody @jbcarmody]

Here’s a statistic for you:

HCA Healthcare - a for-profit hospital chain - now sponsors around 1 in 20 residency positions in the United States.

@jbcarmody How someone at AAMC published charts that showed continued increase in match likelihood even with high application numbers and expected that to cause people to apply to fewer programs is completely beyond me.

[Neil Chatterjee @KSpaceforce]

@jbcarmody Let's pretend 15 programs gives you a 85% chance of matching and 60 programs gives you a 95% chance of matching. As long as 10% chance of match is worth more than 45 applications, any rational person will apply to 60. The "diminishing returns" are utterly irrelevant.

@asset25 At this point I'd settle for PS360 to at least recognize that "images 10 2 15" should in fact be "images 10-15" 🤦🏾‍♂️
