"During the second year of my radiology residency, my four-month rotation in nuclear medicine left a positive imprint on me. I had an amazing mentor, Dr. X, who was very inspirational to me in the advanced diagnoses she provided for patients with hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer, lymphoma, and other types of cancer. I want my future practice to include clinical practice and research in nuclear medicine, and I think your one-year fellowship program will be very beneficial for me."
