What is clinical radiology?
Clinical Radiology is a hospital based medical specialty using imaging to diagnose, monitor and treat various disease processes. It is a very rewarding career as much of the time is spent diagnosing medical conditions and working with other specialties to help plan a patients treatment. For a basic overview read What is a radiologist?Most junior doctors will not have had the chance to do a radiology placement in their training and this accounts for the emphasis on a good understanding of the specialty in the radiology application and interview process. As a specialty, we are looking for intelligent trainees able to work within a multi disciplinary team with good observational, communication and practical skills. A good understanding of general medicine and surgery is important. The rewards are high with a career where your skills are valued both by your clinical colleagues and your patients.
