#RadRes, always remember the 4 stages of learning anything, including how to be a good radiologist:

Stage 1: Unconscious Incompetence

Stage 2: Conscious Incompetence

Stage 3: Conscious Competence

Stage 4: Unconscious Competence

1/4
Translated into radiology terms:

Stage 1: You have a shallow fund of knowledge, can't easily see imaging findings, and don't know what you don't know.

Stage 2: You accumulate a certain amount of knowledge and are exposed to breadth, but are still building foundations.

2/4
Stage 3: You've become good at cases, but perhaps in practiced case-taking scenarios and w/ reliance on memorization and many mnemonics

Stage 4: You recognize findings, have an intuitive sense of what findings are incidental vs. important, and have layers of understanding

3/4
To get to Stage 4, you must progress through the others.

#TrustTheProcess and be patient. You'll get there. The training years can be hard but will ultimately serve you for decades to come.

Studying hard now pays massive dividends later.

4/4

Kudos to @RADiversity @RSNA @TheASNR for recognizing when it is time to step out of the academic radiology sphere and provide support for humanity & equality.

Looking for more societies and institutions' statements... This is a pivotal moment in history!

#BlackLivesMatter
Thank you for speaking out at this critical time, @CincyChildrens Image

1/ Musings of an #MSKRad post-#AAOS2018 meeting. Attended nearly the whole meeting – very impressive presentations, exhibitor booths, educational offerings – a vast meeting similar to #RSNA. @UMichRadiology @jjacobsn @morrisonMSK @SoteriosGyft @danortizmd
2/ More MSK Rads should consider this mtg – lots of relevant material and opps for collaboration. Imaging is so central to orthopaedics – we each get better by reviewing this content and conversing. Orthopaedics most frequent referrer for MSK imaging - ajronline.org/doi/abs/10.221…
3/ I attended mostly sports sessions. Some hot topics: Ongoing issues in joint preservation (excellent sessions in both knee and hip joint preservation), orthobiologics, earlier and earlier identification of “cartilage at risk”.
