#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
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.

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

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.
