My friend <strong>Anson Chen<\/strong> is currently on pediatric imaging where they read plain films, CTs, ultrasounds and MRIs.\u00a0 In the morning, he will walk to the outpatient center with the attending where they are performing contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography, a recently approved technique which replaces VCUGs (voiding cystourethrograms) and avoids radiation in children.<\/p>\n<p>Our job is so much fun because there are multiple aspects to it aside from just reading images. We perform various procedures, speak to patients and clinicians, complete study protocols and teach medical\/nursing students.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9819 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/radiology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2020\/10\/DSC_2466-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"UVA Radiology noontime lecture with Dr. Juliana Bueno\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" \/>Noon &#8211; 1:15 pm: Noon Conference<\/h3>\n<p>All that excitement can make a resident (me!) pretty hungry.\u00a0 Noon conference is the time for us to step away from the screens, get some food, meet back up with friends and listen to a lecture from one of our many great faculty members.<\/p>\n<p>First things first \u2013 the food. If you don\u2019t want to pack lunch or go to the cafeteria, &#8216;The Corner&#8217; is right across the street with a variety of food options; Roots\u2019 giant salad bowls are probably one of the favorites (I&#8217;m not the only one &#8211; we\u2019ve set up a location in the hospital for bulk deliveries).<\/p>\n<p>Lecturing today is <a href=\"https:\/\/uvahealth.com\/findadoctor\/profile\/juliana-m-bueno\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Dr. Juliana Bueno<\/strong><\/a>, giving one of many of her many amazing presentations on thoracic imaging. The lecture topics generally rotate by specialty each week, with individual days focused on a variety of topics to help us improve our clinical skills as well as prepare for future board exams. They\u2019re full of useful facts and images from cases the faculty have seen over the years, which keep residents engaged and interacting.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9858 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/radiology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2020\/09\/JD7B8423-300x155.jpg\" alt=\"UVA Radiology resident David Dwyer in the newly renovated Body Reading Room\" width=\"300\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/radiology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2020\/09\/JD7B8423-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/radiology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2020\/09\/JD7B8423-1024x530.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/radiology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2020\/09\/JD7B8423-768x398.jpg 768w, https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/radiology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2020\/09\/JD7B8423-1536x795.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/radiology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2020\/09\/JD7B8423-386x200.jpg 386w, https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/radiology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/191\/2020\/09\/JD7B8423.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>1:15 &#8211; 5:00 pm: Clinical Service<\/h3>\n<p>A little less hungry, I return to the body reading room and continue the work from this morning. It\u2019s typically more of the same responsibilities, but more exams have been ordered and more people have come into the Emergency Department while I was away. I work hard to read all the ED and inpatient exams. Though we read as much of the list as we can, education comes first, and we are responsible for learning more than emptying lists. Once 5:00 pm rolls around, I make sure there are no emergent studies left, sign out anything I have pending, and my work is done for the day (usually) . . .<\/p>\n<h3>5:00 &#8211; 8:00 pm: Swing Shift<\/h3>\n<p>Tonight, I\u2019ll be sticking around until 8:00 pm for a swing shift with my friend <strong>Neal Desai<\/strong>. We do these shifts about once a week or every other week after first year. From 5:00 &#8211; 8:00 pm, the two of us are \u201con call,\u201d meaning we interpret all the imaging studies for the Emergency Department and inpatients during this time.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s usually a busy couple of hours, but it\u2019s also a time that we learn and grow the most. We are signing reports with less supervision and make more of our own clinical decisions. Though it can be stressful at times, we learn to be quick and efficient, communicate with providers and trust ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, I\u2019m reading CTAs and CT chest\/abdomen\/pelvis while Neal reads radiographs, CTs of the brain and spine and ultrasounds.\u00a0 Even though we\u2019re assigned separate studies, we\u2019re always willing to help each other out if someone sees something new or has a question. This call shift allows for autonomy, but there\u2019s always a fellow or attending available if we get in a real bind.<\/p>\n<h3>8:00 pm: The Day Ends<\/h3>\n<p>Yay, swing shift has ended. The two nighttime residents come in to take over, doing essentially the same thing we just did on swing, but from 8:00 pm &#8211; 8:00 am.<\/p>\n<p>I head home to see my kids before bed and prepare for the next morning. Some people are off to the gym or to get dinner (no way I can wait until 8:00 pm for dinner). I set my alarm, eager to see all my coworkers\/friends and find out what exciting cases await me tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wondering what daily life in the UVA Diagnostic Radiology Residency program will look like?
