v07 Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Have you guys heard this as well- that Radiology interviews often show films??? Are they looking for an approach, our communication skills or actually the right answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Have you guys heard this as well- that Radiology interviews often show films??? Are they looking for an approach, our communication skills or actually the right answer? Hi there, I've heard of some schools which have done this in recent years although I'm not sure what they're looking for. However there are other schools which clearly state that they will not be showing images during the interview process. Cheers, Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirsteen Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Hi, One person I know who interviewed last year was faced with some films when they interviewed at McGill--and McGill only. Cheers, Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyMax Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Hey, I know someone who was also faced with films when they interviewed for McGill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Medicator Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I can confirm that ALL candidates who apply to the radiology program here and are interviewed are asked to interpret some imaging studies with an attending during their interview. Now the real question is what they are really looking for. Cheers, Medicator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Medicator Hey there, One guy I know was faced with those interpretations and didn't really know what he was looking at in some of the films, and he told them so. He's now a McGill Rads resident. Cheers, Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tink Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Both UBC and McGill showed films this year. From what I was told officially at the interviews, the purpose was to assess "visual abilities", but I have to think that it's also a bit of "how do you react on the hot seat".

T Hey there, Yes, given the nature of the imaging shown at UBC, (and given that these sorts of images aren't generally encountered on a regular basis until after one or two years of residency training) I'd agree that it might have been more of a stressful situation-type scenario. Probably some bonus points, too, if you were familiar with the intricacies of the anatomy shown in that modality, or at least, if you had a good, first principles-type of approach to either interpreting the image or thinking through the pathology.
