When radiologists were asked about their least favorite part of their job, they responded with irregular work hours, extensive educational requirements, the potential for radiation exposure, being on call, and orthopedic injuries. The interviewers want to hear your least favorite part of radiology and why. Be sure to end your response on a positive note, and do not dwell on your least favorite part of the job.

"My least favorite part of radiology is the irregular hours. But, I knew this would be a part of the job, and it would be the same in any other healthcare field. I have learned to adjust to the hours, so it is not an issue now. When I have downtime, I rest, exercise, and eat well, which helps when working irregular hours."
"My least favorite part about this specialty is that there is often little time to review the patient's chart and delve into extensive medical history. The radiologist must carefully allocate time reviewing images, dictating reports, and searching the patient's medical record for additional history that might impact the final image interpretation. Unfortunately, sometimes the history provided for the imaging study is inadequate. "
