As your team of interviewers considers the candidates to join their nuclear medicine residency program, they'll ask some 'meat & potatoes' questions on the field to gauge the candidate's knowledge of radiation therapy. With this question, your interviewers will be hopeful that you can point out the organs and body systems most notably affected negatively by exposure to radiation.

"Radiation impacts the entire body, and safety is always key when treating patients with radiation therapy. However, the most damage can be felt by the tissue and organs. I know that the organs most affected by radiation are the brain, thyroid, blood system, heart, gastrointestinal tract, and reproductive tract."

Display to the hiring manager that you have strong knowledge of the side effects of radiation exposure on the human body. If you need to, research this topic before the interview. Some of the organs you want to highlight that have been proven through research to be affected are the GI, brain, skin, and reproductive systems.
