How do you keep your knowledge current with the ongoing changes in the diagnostic imaging industry?
As a healthcare professional, you must stay up-to-date in your respective field, and today's technology makes this reasonably easy! The interviewers ask this question to determine if you are proactive and dedicated to continuous improvement in your field. If you do not stay current with changes in the industry, it shows that you may be unmotivated to grow professionally.
"I am an avid reader and like to stay current on changes in the industry by reading industry briefs and peer-reviewed articles. I also subscribe to the Journal of the American College of Radiology which informs readers of timely and pertinent topics affecting the industry. Additionally, I listen to a radiology podcast while driving or doing chores around the house. If I may ask, what resources do you prefer to stay on top of industry trends and changes?"
"Currently, I am a member of several radiological societies, including RSNA and SIR. These societies publish up-to-date articles about radiology research, jobs, and physician-scientists which excite me and motivate me to succeed in residency. I plan to keep these memberships during residency and perhaps publish some articles myself!"
