"After talking with a few residents in your program, the most challenging part of the residency will be balancing my personal and professional life. I was recently married, and my spouse is also applying for residency. We have spoken about the challenges we will face and know the next four or five years will be tough. I plan to find a work-life balance by taking any chance we get to spend time with each other and our friends and family. After spending time with family, I can handle any challenges before me and know it will not interfere with my time in the residency program."

"The most challenging part of residency will be mastering each radiological subspecialty during each rotation. Since residents spend a single week on each rotation, it can be challenging to pick up where one left off the next time around. Month-long rotations allow the residents to immerse themselves in one particular subspecialty for a more prolonged period of time, giving adequate time to master the content."
