Some programs describe what a resident's day looks like on their website. The interviewers want to see that you have done your homework and understand what your daily life will look like as a diagnostic radiology resident. If the program you applied to does not have that information, speak with former or current students or visit the university or medical center and talk to staff. You should understand what your day entails before starting the program, so there are no surprises.

"After speaking with a former resident of your program, I have a good understanding of the daily life of a resident. After the morning case conference, I will spend four hours in clinical service. I will review X-rays, CTs, and MRIs of the brain, neck, and spine. Then, I will attend the noon conference with my fellow residents, where we will eat lunch and discuss our day. After the noon conference, I will return to clinical service for four hours, interpreting ordered studies. Once a week, I will be on call on the swing shift, dictating ordered studies for in-hospital patients and patients in the Emergency Department."
