Dear IR Residency - Residency Reflection
What do new interventional radiologists wish they had known before starting residency? On this reflective episode of BackTable, Dr. Neil Jain is joined by chief residents Dr. Aesha Patel and Dr. Gregg Khodorov as they look back on six years of IR/DR training. They share what they wish they’d known as applicants, from the growing emotional weight of complications near graduation to the essential role of co-residents, support networks, and the evolving balance between confidence and competence.
